We should probably remove the comment line.  It is just for ease when using
online validators.  Most RDF libraries have a way to establish the base URI
before processing the document.  I would expect that when a server
processes a POST request, it would first mint the new URI and set it as the
base.  For the PUT, I would use the request URI as the base URI.
