Re: p:add-xml-base with relative=true

I read the intent of add-xml-base to force the overt xml:base
indications to be in line with the over [base URI] properties.  So I
would propose to redraft 7.1.2 as follows:

  1) Replace 'added' with 'added or corrected' in the first para;

  2) Add a sentence after the two option typing sentences:

     The value of the all option and the value of the relative option
     MUST NOT both be true.

  3) Replace the substance as follows:

 The p:add-xml-base step modifies its input as follows:

  * For the document element: force the element to have an xml:base
    attribute with its [base URI] property's value as its value.

  * For other elements:

     If the all option has the value 'true', force the element to have
     an xml:base attribute with the element's [base URI] value as its
     value.

     If element's [base URI] is different from the its parent's [base
     URI], force the element to have an xml:base attribute with the
     the following value:

      If the value of the relative option is 'true', a string which
      when resolved against the parent's [base URI] will give the
      element's [base URI], otherwise the element's [base URI].

     Othewise if there is an xml:base attribute present, remove it.

On this basis, the name might better be changed to something like
p:manifest-base-uris
