This is very disturbing if true, as XHTML *is* dependent on the XML infoset which has native coverage of URI resolution WRT a base, so I can't imagine why xml:base would not apply. >> >> I am unclear whether the following use of xml:base is relevant to the >> following single element XML document >> >> <r >> xmlns:g="http://www.w3.org/2003/g/data-view#" >> xml:base = "http://www.example.org/" >> g:transformation="xform" /> >> >> Should a GRDDL aware agent try to get http://www.example.org/xform for >> this example? > > yes. > >> None of these suspicions are answers positively or negatively in the text.

No need at all (XML dependency chain): * http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath * http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-infoset * http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/ So much easier when you are dealing with well-formed markup =) > Looks like infoset would be enough... > > "Several information items have a [base URI] or [declaration base URI] > property.

Harry, you might want to give that a think. It certainly does not merit re-opening the issue, IMHO.
