BTW, my workaround for now is to check to see if base-uri() returned an absolute URL and if it did not, I use my existing code for constructing URLs to simply combine the relative URL with the parent of the result of base-uri(), otherwise I use resolve-uri(). That's a sufficiently-general solution that is not explicitly BaseX specific.
