When I invoke these tests, I tell my processor that the document origin is relative to <http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/df1/tests/>. @base is a mechanism to override
the document source location, so in the absence of @base, <> should expand to the document
origin. In the case of the Ruby parser, it will either use the actual URL from which the document
is loaded as base, which can be overridden by passing a :base_uri option, which is what I
do when running these tests.
