Hi,
A while ago we had a discussion about how xml:base should be used.
We didn't reach a conclusion, but I think we need to act.
The way Tim Bray's feed and the examples from James Snell on
developerWorks use xml:base is what Roy T. Fielding calls an abuse.
Now I think that no matter what

I would prefer to deal with what the spec actually says. As you point
out, it is really odd that nothing was added to the new RFC 3986 to
support your position.
The authors of DOM3 looked at both the xml:base and InfoSet
specifications. I've taken a look at how two respected

How to use xml:base is a matter of the xml:base specification
and (less so) the resource identifier specifications. If you

Disagree. The introduction is for newbies. Folks implementing

In the sentence above, you refer to the base URI. I would interpret
that as the base URI of the document, not the base URI of the element.
It has to the base URI of the element, otherwise links can change

That uses html:base, which sets the base URI for the entire
document, not @xml:base, which sets the base URI for the element
Sjoerd: While reading your linked post, I noticed this:
Finally I'd like to share a trick to set the base URI for escaped
HTML in RSS and Atom: add a BASE element to the beginning of the HTML
content.
Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'd be surprised if that worked in too many
aggregators. After all
The biggest issue yet to be solved is categorizing draft documents.
Accordingly, I'm scheduling the following, each of which either
addresses the specific issue, or the more general one:
PaceCollectionControl
PaceCollectionProcess
PaceSimpleDraft
Discussion of these paces should occur on

I disagree with Roy, but agree that the way my links were set up was
a little surprising to the eye, so I tweaked.
Draft -03 of feed history is now available, at:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-nottingham-atompub-feed-
history-03.txt
Significant changes in this revision include:
- add fh:archive element, to indicate that an entry is an archive
- allow subscription feed to omit fh:stateful

I disagree with Roy,
Shouldn't he be the one who knows? He actually he made it into an abuse
