It didn't generate much comment except from Tim Berners-Lee who said it was against the uri spec. TBL> The URI spec specifies that a relative URI is relative to the URI TBL> of the containing document. That's what it means. me> XML documents may spread over several entities with different base URI. me> XML base extends that concept further and means that the base URI me> may change within a single file. So the language in the RFC probably me> needs to be changed or creatively interpreted in any case. David
