Unfortunately we can't require folks to use xml:base in their documents, so we can still have documents with no defined base address. And even if we could require a base address, it still doesn't advance the discussion of whether absolutizing relative namespace references is in fact useful behavior. XMLBase definitely gets involved in the various scenarios. But I don't think it changes the debate significantly. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
