The XML Core WG believes that the specification is clear and
unambiguous, but we are happy to add a note after the bullet
points in 4.2 confirming that base URIs can be inherited:

   Note: It follows that the base URI specified by an xml:base
   attribute is inherited by descendant elements within the same
   entity until another element with an xml:base attribute is
   encountered.
