Richard and I discussed this at length yesterday, and although no firm
conclusion was reached, one point that has stayed with me is that
xml:base is a bit like namespace declarations and general entity
references, in that it is in the language to allow you to affect the
infoset, and is _not_ guaranteed to be round-tripped. It follows from
this that XSLT's behaviour, and Norm's preferred XProc behaviour,
which is that adding/changing xml:base has an impact, but deleting it
does not, makes some sense.
Good luck discussing this tomorrow!
