This discussion thread seems to suggest that issue-base-param be resolved as soon as possible. In my opinion there is no reason why it can't be resolved besides there not being a concrete test case to drive discussion (and I have an outstanding action for this so I will be sure to address it before the next telecon).

The identifier for the containing document is often a URL - possible a redirected URL - and thus an intricate part of the dereferencing (and processing) *before* the resulting document is parsed. XML and RDF tools are quite capable of handling base URI propagation (and have been for some time) and the ability to make provenance statements without poluting the syntax with mechanisms best handled by XML and RDF Processor is quite critical in my opinion. > or (b) resolve issue-base-param and modify the stylesheets used in the test > case to expect the specified base parameter and output this in the resulting > RDF/XML. I would argue that a *proper* resolution to issue-base-para should not require passing the base as a parameter (which I can't help but think of as a hack to do what XML and RDF processors are quite capable of doing natively). But some concrete usecases are in order ...
