Re: Base uri of the documents on the 'current' port

/ Innovimax SARL <innovimax@gmail.com> was heard to say:
| So
|
| Let that be a document
|
| (base-uri='my-funky-document')
| <a>
|  <b xml:base="http://mywebsite/funkyproduct">
|    <c>...</c>
|    <c>...</c>
|    <c>...</c>
|    <d xml:base="http://this.is.not.xul/funkyproduct">...</d>
|    <c>...</c>
|    <c>...</c>
|    <c>...</c>
|  </b>
| </a>
|
| Does it mean that
| <p:for-each select="*">
| on that document would give
|
| base-uri(a) = 'my-funky-document'
| base-uri(b) = 'http://mywebsite/funkyproduct'
| base-uri(c) = 'http://mywebsite/funkyproduct'
| base-uri(d) = 'http://this.is.not.xul/funkyproduct'
|
| Is this correct ?

Yes, I think so. One could argue that the base URI of the document that
contains "b" is 'my-funky-document' and that the xml:base doesn't come
into effect until you get inside the root element. (The same would apply
to "d".)

However, since we're constructing the document from the element, and
there will never be any content before the element, there's probably no
value in preserving that fine distinction.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
