But I'd prefer a more elegant solution if possible. I'm not sure the xml:base is really the right thing to use. For example when a tree gets processed with XInclude, libxml2 inserts XML_XINCLUDE_START and XML_XINCLUDE_END nodes around every included fragment in the resulting tree (unless asked to not do that with XML_PARSE_NOXINCNODE parser option). Your code could just walk the resulting tree and locate and analyze them. That sounds way cleaner and safer in general.
