Proposal for resolving bug #3415

Change the description of dm:base-uri in 6.1.2, 6.2.2, and 6.5.2 to read:

  dm:base-uri

    Returns the value of the base-uri property.

N.B. leave the description of dm:base-uri unchanged in 6.3.2, 6.6.2,
and 6.7.2.

Change the description of base-uri in 6.1.3, 6.2.3, and 6.5.3 to read:

  base-uri

    The value of the [base URI] property. Note that the base URI
    property is always an absolute URI (if an absolute URI can be
    computed) though it may contain Unicode characters that are not
    allowed in URIs. Any such characters must be encoded and escaped
    to obtain a URI suitable for retrieval, if retrieval is required.

By my reading of XML Base and the Infoset spec, the [base URI]
property is always absolute, except for the case where no absolute URI
can be computed.
