http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10109 --- Comment #2 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> 2010-07-08 14:05:50 --- You're right that there are some nodes, for example parentless text nodes, that have no base URI. (In practice, there are whole documents that have no base URI because they are parsed from an anonymous input stream, but I'm not sure the specs acknowledge that case.) We're had the debate about base URIs being relative before, and I don't recall the outcome. We're very casual about using the term "relative URI", but technically, a relative reference is not a URI. (And it's not just us: I see XML Base says "The terms base URI and relative URI are used in this specification as they are defined in [RFC 3986]." - but the term "relative URI" is explicitly discouraged in RFC 3986!). My understanding is that the base URI of a node is always an absolute URI. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
