Just to be clear; was it agreed that the base element in head will be
intrepreted to the same affect in XHTML 1.1? So that:

        <base href="http://example.org" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <div about="#me">
            <span property="foaf:givenname">Niklas</span>
            <a rel="foaf:homepage" href="/niklas">
        </div>

yields:

    <http://example.org#me>
        foaf:givenname "Niklas";
        foaf:homepage <http://example.org/niklas> .

? I believe so.. (Which implies that base will be peeked at RDFa
process startup.)
