One even happens to be using libxml2. I still say that the xml:base clarifications in the GRDDL specs are specific to GRDDL. The current behavior of the existing XML parsers are correct in respects to how they handle base uri. When writing an implementation for GRDDL, you would need to use the base uri of the document element rather than from the document node in order to conform to the GRDDL specification in terms of the document's base uri.
