Ch 3. fh:stateful seems to be only needed for a newborn stateful

and fh:prev.
The problem is that an empty @href in fh:prev is subject to xml:base
processing, and who knows what the current xml:base is going to be
when you get to it. Is there a way to explicitly make xml:base
undefined? If I'm not mistaken xml:base="" doesn't do it--it just
adds nothing to the existing xml:base. If there is a way, you could
say <link rel="fh"prev" href="" xml:base="[whatever value sets it to
"undefined"]" />, but otherwise, using an empty @href is probably
overloading the wrong attribute. A different @rel value like
"fh:noprev" (with an empty link, since it doesn't matter what it
actually points to) might be a step up, but using any kind of link to
indicate the lack of a link is a little odd.
Yikes, I should have caught up on the xml:base thread first! Looks
like the jury's out, or at least hung, on this issue.
