Re: Submission URI

We do mention base processing for submit/@resource:

resource
URI indicating the destination for the submission. This attribute is  
required unless the destination URI is provided by the (deprecated)  
resource element, or the (deprecated) action attribute. Behavior of  
relative URIs in links is determined by the host language, although [XML  
Base] processing is strongly recommended.
