Re: Of xml:base and base URIs

/ Norman Walsh <Norman.Walsh@Sun.COM> was heard to say:
| 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

Uh, that'd be

    link3  file:/tmp/baz.html

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
