[Bug 5207] [XQ] Accessing undefined static context base URI and XPST0001

I can't be certain, but I suspect the intended meaning for element constructors
was the same as for document constructors: the base URI of the element is the
same as the base URI in the static context, which means it's
null/absent/empty/undefined/none if the value in the context is
null/absent/empty/undefined/none. (I wish I understood which of these terms we
should use...)

One could argue that this code isn't "using" the value of the static base URI,
it's only copying it...

It could probably be clarified, except that when you go near base URI,
something always breaks.
