Yes I am not proud of this specifically incriminated bit of code. It is 
a relic of the first version of RDFa2RDFXML and it specifically 
triggered my questions at the telecon 2 weeks ago to try to understand 
how the base should really be processed.
As for the url parameter I am inclined to keep it because in a number of 
cases the produced RDF/XML is not directly used by the GRDDL agent that 
knows the base url but is saved in a file and processed later. In these 
cases, having a standalone RDF/XML output that includes the base is very 
convenient since no post processing is required at all.
Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to have such lib of design 
patterns published as named templates.
