Thank you for your comment on XML Base recorded at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2002JulSep/0071 You point out that Section 4.2 of the spec says: ># 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. and you ask for clarification. The maintenance of XML Base has been picked up by the XML Core WG. In response to your comment, we have issued an erratum reflected by the Errata document at http://www.w3.org/2001/06/xmlbase-errata wherein we clarified the wording by adding the word "entity" to the second bullet point, as follows: 2. the base URI of the element's parent element within the document entity or external entity, if one exists, otherwise We hope this provides the clarification you requested. Paul Grosso for the XML Core WG
