Hi, According to the XPointer drafts, which will set the fragment identifier syntax for XML documents, #fragid does not always refer to the current document. It is a relative URI reference, and is converted to an absolute identifier according to the rules of RFC 2396. Those rules say that the first thing to check for is a base URI embedded in the document's content. The xml:base attribute came out of the XML Linking WG (which is the group also doing the XPointer spec) in order to provide just that functionality. If no base URI exists in the document, then we assume the base is that of the current document (encapsulating entity, to be pedantic). Ron Daniel co-editor of XPointer
