Re: [docbook-apps] xml:base and DocBook stylesheets

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Elliotte,
Some xml:base problems may be due to the stylesheets, and some may be due 
to bugs in the way the XInclude parser adds xml:base attributes (I've 
reported several over the last couple of years on libxml2).  I could track 
this down if you submit a bug report on sourceforge with a compact set of 
files that demonstrate the problem, and let me know how you are processing 
the files.
