I *think* xmllint is defining xml:base wrongly in the presence of external entities - but I'm prepared to be told I'm wrong or I'm using xmllint inappropriately.
Consider the pair of documents: 1: wrapper.xml --- <!DOCTYPE wrapper [ <!ENTITY contents SYSTEM "subdir/contents.xml"> ]> <wrapper>&contents;</wrapper> --- 2: subdir/contents.xml --- <node/> --- If I open up wrapper.xml in the xmllint --shell, without using "--noent", then I can't look inside the &contents; entity (or at least, I can't find a way to do so) So instead, if I open it up using xmllint --noent --shell, then take a look at the <node/> inside &contents; and ask for its base URI, I get told "wrapper.xml", when in fact the base URI ought to be "contents.xml", or possibly "subdir/contents.xml" - or so it seems to me, anyway. How ought I to use xmllint to inspect nodes inside entity references? In a similar vein, when using xsltproc, are there any extension functions which allow me to access the base URI of a node? -- Dr. Toby O. H. White Dept.
