In my mail I forgot to congratulate the XMLMind Editor developers, you have made a great tool. The thing with xml:base is that you can use it in any element of an xml document to indicate the base path of all the uri references inside the element. This attribute does not need to be declared in the DTD and then the document is considered valid if it is used. The problem in xxe is that using this attribute generates a validation error and then the apperance of the document in the screen becomes less compact and the document is saved with no indentation.
