That depends a bit on same-document reference processing of Atom
processors. If the Atom processor assumes the link refers to some
web site and passes the absolute reference to some other user agent
there would not be a problem. If however e.g. FireFox implements
some Atom rendering and makes the link available to the user, it
might indeed consider the link to point to the same document and
not navigate to the web site. If that's a concern, Tim cannot use
http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/ as Base URI. That would of course
make using xml:base a bit difficult in practise...

Actually, it makes using xml:base possible, when there are same-document references involved. There is a bug in Firefox [1] about this. This means that same-document links don't work in f.e. Google cache files.
