> I think this is a violation of RFC 2396. I think XBase goes beyond RFC 2396, and RFC 2396 should be updated. In particular, the RFC refers to "the base URI of a document", but XBase allows a document to have different base URIs in different parts. This is essential for some purposes (eg reserialisation after entity expansion). > At present, a default value for the xml:base is allowed to appear in an > external DTD subset or external parameter entitiy.

Surely it only controls documents that use the element type on which the default attribute occurs? In which case their use of that element type could be taken as setting the base URI in that very entity. -- Richard
