How are module specifiers resolved?

As far as I can tell, the ECMAScript spec doesn't answer this directly.
The HostNormalizeModuleName section says: "The actual normalization mapping
is implementation defined but typically includes processes such alphabetic
case normalization and expansion of abbreviated file system paths." (
https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-hostnormalizemodulename)
so it sounds like the details of how that will work in web browsers, and
how it will work in node.js, etc., will be defined in a different spec,
perhaps owned by the w3c or something like that. Does (a draft of) that
other spec exist yet? Thanks!
