xml:base applies to type="xhtml" content, but I'm not sure whether it
is supposed to apply to escaped type="html" content? I reckon that it
does.

RFC4287, section 2:

   Any element defined by this specification MAY have an xml:base
   attribute [W3C.REC-xmlbase-20010627].  When xml:base is used in an
   Atom Document, it serves the function described in section 5.1.1 of
   [RFC3986], establishing the base URI (or IRI) for resolving any
   relative references found within the effective scope of the xml:base
   attribute.

Seems pretty clear to me. Yes, the base URI of that HTML is now whatever xml:base said it was -Tim
