I agree that we should discuss this in the con call today. It might be interesting for our discussions how RFC 296 specifies the base URI: 5.1.2. Base URI from the Encapsulating Entity If no base URI is embedded, the base URI of a document is defined by the document's retrieval context. For a document that is enclosed within another entity (such as a message or another document), the retrieval context is that entity; thus, the default base URI of the document is the base URI of the entity in which the document is encapsulated.
