As an aside, when the XML Base specifications refers to "parent" [1] it means "ancestor", right? <GrandParent> <GrandParent> <GrandParent> [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/#granularity The base URI of an element is: 1. the base URI specified by an xml:base attribute on the element, if one exists, otherwise 2. the base URI of the element's parent element within the document or external entity, if one exists, otherwise 3. the base URI of the document entity or external entity containing the element.
