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.
