Another patch ping... It's been almost two weeks since the original email. Is this list alive?

The code in xmlXIncludeLoadDoc looks at the url argument to see if it is relative path - to do so, it looks for slashes in the path. The problem is that xmlXIncludeLoadNode() passes down URIs that are relative to the top- level document, not to the most recent inclusion. Therefore, in the example below the url in xmlXIncludeLoadDoc() is just '3.xml', not '../3.xml' - and thus, the code wrongly considers it to be based in the same directory as the current included file. The attached patch solves this problem. It removes a premature check on the 'url' argument - even if does not contain slashes, it may be a relative URI. Instead, it proceeds to build a URI relative to current node's base, and only aborts xml:base insertion if that relative URI does not contain slashes. With this patch, the output from the test is: <?xml version="1.0"?> <top xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";> <elem1 xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; xml:base="dir/2.xml"> <elem2 xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; xml:base="../3.xml"> <a fileref="x.svg"/> </elem2> </elem1> </top> Regards, Alexey.

Here is an example: ----[ 1.xml ]---- <?xml version="1.0"?> <top xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";> <xi:include href="dir/2.xml"/> </top> ------------------ ----[ dir/2.xml ]---- <?xml version="1.0"?> <elem1 xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";> <xi:include href="../3.xml"/> </elem1> --------------------- ----[ 3.xml ]---- <?xml version="1.0"?> <elem2> <a fileref="x.svg"/> </elem2> ------------------ Now, if I process 1.xml with 'xmllint --xinclude', I get: $ xmllint --xinclude 1.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <top xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";> <elem1 xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; xml:base="dir/2.xml"> <elem2> <a fileref="x.svg"/> </elem2> </elem1> </top> The question is, why is xml:base missing on elem2? It is included from a different location than its ancestor, elem1. Is it a bug in libxml2, or am I missing something in the XInclude specification? As far as I can see, XInclude says: "Each element information item in the top-level included items which has a different base URI than its include parent has an attribute information item added to its attributes property." In this case base URI for elem2 is different than that for elem1 - so I think xml:base should be present. This affects DocBook stylesheets: when they attempt to insert the references to external graphics (e.g. fo:external-graphic for XSL-FO output), they analyze xml:base on all of the element's ancestors. With inclusion like this, it incorrectly resolves the file reference like a/@fileref above to point to dir/x.svg. Any workarounds? I am using 2.9.0 now, haven't tried with the "bleeding edge" yet.
