QT data model bug 1296

The XML Core WG observes

  6.1.5
  The [declaration base URI] property should not necessarily be the
  document-uri.  For an unparsed entity declared in the external subset,
  it should be the URI of the external subset.  It seems that you may need a
  property in the data model to store this, if you want to get it right.

I'm wondering if it would be sufficient to say that the [system identifier]
must be made absolute? Would that not make the [declaration base uri]
unnecessary?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
