According to the URI spec [1], that is relative to the *current document*, as opposed to the current base URI. For example, when xml:base is used within an XML document, the #frag is not (as I understand) relative to the base URI. The URI spec [1] is quite explicit about stating that when resolving #frag relative to some base URI, it refers to a fragment the *current document* as distinct from the base URI; cf. algorithm in section 5.2. #g -- [1] http://www.apache.org/~fielding/uri/rev-2002/rfc2396bis.html (I'm using this latest work-in-progress as a reference, but, without explicitly checking, I think the current spec says the same.) ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org> PGP: 0FAA 69FF C083 000B A2E9 A131 01B9 1C7A DBCA CB5E
