I suggested writing the next tag like this:

That's what I would do, too. Not my spec, though. Mainly so I could
put a title in that said "Entries from August" or whatever.
For that matter, if Henry's interpretation were correct, the element
could be
<fh:history nonsense="1">./archives/archive1.atom</fh:history>
And Atom processors would magically know that XML Base applies to the
URI therein. It's the magic that I object to; inferring the
applicability of context based on the presence or absence of other
markup isn't good practice, and will lead to practical problems.
E.g., what if I want to have an optional attribute on an empty
element? Is it "simple" or "complex"?
This interpretation of extensions seems very fragile to me.
