FWIW, just the other day I was suggesting to Dimitry that xml:base would 
be useful for use with templates and shadow content. I'd be happy to 
remove the markup-level feature (or maybe make it more HTML-friendly), but 
per-node base URLs are something that I think we'll need more and more in 
the coming years. Syndication, widgets, templating, etc, all would benefit 
greatly from this kind of thing.
