That’s a good point; though there’s a slight difference as
namespace URIs must be absolute in the first place.

The `href` isn’t necessarily unique, now that I think about it,
if you play games with `xml:base`:

    <link href="comments.xml" rel="replies" />
    <link href="comments.xml" rel="replies" xml:base="./foo/" />

Of course, it’s entirely reasonable to declare this madness and
refuse to support it.

Maybe we need something like _A Plea for Sanity_ that Joe English
wrote about namespaces, for xml:base.

Yeah, probably.
