Thoughts? Well, it's not WebDAV's business to mess around with bases for namespaces. Namespaces don't currently use XML Base, and probably they won't in the future. There was an extensive discussion of whether namespace uris could be relative uris, and the conclusion as far as I remember was that it should be discouraged. Regards, Martin.
