Yes, I've also encountered some problems with xml:base attributes in the result document. However, in that case I'm not yet sure what the real result should be and whether my output or the test case results or both are wrong. It would be extremely helpful for the XInclude spec to provide some more details on this such as whether the value of the xml:base attribute should or should not be absolute, when the href is not absolute, and whether or not the value of the xml:base attribute should contain the fragment identifier. Possibly the answers to these questions are inferrable from a combination of different sections of the XInclude and XML Base specs and the URL RFCs. However, if they are, I haven't yet made the right connections to infer them. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Processing XML with Java (Addison-Wesley, 2002) http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0201771861/cafeaulaitA
