[[ Unless otherwise provided by information outside the scope of this specification (e.g. a special XML element type defined by a particular DTD, or a processing instruction defined by a particular application specification), relative URIs are relative to the location of the resource within which the entity declaration occurs. ]] I agree that the system identifier in the doctype decl. can't reasonably be overriden by xml:base as xml:base is specified today. But other system identifiers can be; public/system applies to all external entities, of course. I think we've wandered off topic a little, if there was a topic :) Relative namespace URIs are of course discouraged.
