Of xml:base and base URIs

Consider the following document located at
file:/tmp/documentbase/document.xml:

<!DOCTYPE doc [
<!ENTITY myent SYSTEM "file:/tmp/entbase/ent.xml">
]>
<doc>
  <p xml:base="file:/tmp/userspecified/base/">
    &myent;
    <link2 xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
           xlink:href="../bar.html"/>
  </p>
  <link3 xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
         xlink:href="../baz.html"/>
</doc>

where file:/tmp/entbase/ent.xml contains:

<link1 xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
       xlink:href="../foo.html"/>

Are we all agreed that the base URIs in question are:

  doc    file:/tmp/documentbase/document.xml
  p      file:/tmp/userspecified/base/
  link1  file:/tmp/entbase/ent.xml
  link2  file:/tmp/userspecified/base/
  link3  file:/tmp/documentbase/document.xml

and the absolutized xlink:hrefs are consequently:

  link1  file:/tmp/foo.html
  link2  file:/tmp/userspecified/bar.html
  link3  file:/tmp/documentbase/baz.html

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
