It would then suggest that xml:base should >scope into external entities. Not to my way of thinking. The idea of "encapsulated entity" in section 5.1.2 of RFC 2396 is not really parallel to external entities--if anything, it is more similar to internal entities. XML external entities are separate resources with their own URI by which they are retrieved, and some (most?) resources that are, at times, processed as XML external entities can, in fact, be read/parsed/treated as an XML document entity themselves at other times. paul
