Sample 
A sample fragment which after normalization can be equivalent with a document
alias other then the one containing the fragment ( and as a result, the
fragment can be an inter-document reference pointing to a different document):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<model xml:base="http://www.sample/a/">
<instances>
   <document>
     <docInfo>
       <aliases>
         <alias>b/instance1.xml</alias>
       </aliases>
     </docInfo>
     <data>
       <Courses xml:base=”c/instance1.xml”>
...
                <sml:uri>#xpointer(…)</sml:uri>
…
       </Courses>
     </data>
   </document>
   <document>
     <docInfo>
       <aliases>
         <alias>c/instance1.xml</alias>
       </aliases>
     </docInfo>
   </document>
 </instances>
</model>

document 1 alias after baseURI normalization : 
http://www.sample/a/b/instance1.xml
document 2 alias after baseURI normalization : 
http://www.sample/a/c/instance1.xml

fragment in doc 1 after baseURI normalization : 
http://www.sample/a/c/instance1.xml#xpointer(...)  << this is equivalent with
doc 2 alias
