The baseURI issue has nothing to do with URL vs InputStream. It is very XML

find a way to generally represent it and it makes sense to the general
class/usage of Configurators.

It isn't really XML specific, it just seems that way. It would effect any configurator that supported an include mechanism. However the XML configurators are the only ones at this time or in the foreseeable future.


If PropertyConfigurator had an include mechanism, it too would need some way to resolve relative file references. With the extra baseURI parameter, PropertyConfigurator or other non-XML configuration mechanisms have some extra information they can just totally ignore until the unlikely day that they add an include mechanism.
