I'm doing something similar right now, scraping some website that doesn't provide feeds for what I want. I check the html of the page I scraped and if they have a <base> I use that, else I use the URL I used to fetch the page. The tag soup I extract for each entry contains relative references. I really don't want to go fixing that tag soup so I just stick that base url into xml:base for each entry (and not just at the top of the feed, because I'm scraping paginated results). e.
