If xml:base can only describe the actual source URI of the document, then these features don't make sense. The example in the xml:base spec [1] uses a relative URI in the <olist xml:base="/hotpicks/"> element, after defining an absolute URI in <doc xml:base="http://example.org/today/";> at the top of the document. If xml:base can only describe the source URI, then one of them must be lying? [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/#syntax -- Dave
