Not all documents actually contain metadata, and even if that is the 
case, not all require a global base URI. I therefore would suggest to 
make it optional. In that case, you can add it if you need it, and can 
omit it if it is not required, or not reasonable.

I would only provide the possibility to add a base URI, and maybe would 
provide some guidelines, but would not require that a certain URI schema 
has to be used.
