Note that, apart from fo:external-graphic, the src property also applies to
fo:color-profile and fo:external-document. If xml:base is set on fo:root or
fo:declarations, the prototype will work for those cases as well.

With only a trivial change (untested), the same could be applied to
external-destination.
That would allow one to create a document with a fo:block containing images
from a specific website, and in the same block, specify relative URIs as
external-destinations. If xml:base is set correctly, those links will then
point to locations on the website the images are hosted on. 
Thinking more about it, it does seem like a powerful addition to being able to
set a single base URI via the user-config. That case could also easily be
covered by setting xml:base on the fo:root. Benefit being that the base-uri is
available in the source (instead of only in a configuration that, perhaps, only
exists while the source is rendered).

Implementing xml:base in the user-config itself is an entirely different story,
but there might be interesting use-cases for that as well.
