OK, thanks. Given that, it sounds like for my purposes this part of the spec is entirely vacuous (also useless, since in practice other specs need to define the details of the behavior here), so I'm just going to ignore it and work on making sure other specs actually define their behavior instead of relying on assumptions about what "base URI" should be used here. -Boris
