Turtle Test Suite document issues

I am now implementing a test suite using the document linked from the spec

   http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/tests/

So first it says 

[[
The tests should be performed with an assumed base URI of http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/df1/tests/.
]]

but 

 http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/tests/base1.ttl

does not have that base and neither does 

  http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/tests/base1.out

which is the answer to it. Now base is defined with the rules


   base	   ::=   	BASE IRI_REF
   <BASE>	   ::=   	"@base"

but that is not what we find in that file

@base foaf: <http://www.w3.org/2010/01/Turtle/tests/> .
<prefix1.ttl> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/test-manifest#PositiveSyntaxTest> .

here @base foaf: is not parseable, and indeed neither Jena, nor Sesame 
parse it.
