Description Richard Tobin for XML Core WG 2005-05-03 14:23:14 UTC 
6.1.5
The [declaration base URI] property should not necessarily be the
document-uri.  For an unparsed entity declared in the external subset,
it should be the URI of the external subset.  It seems that you may need a
property in the data model to store this, if you want to get it right.
Comment 1 Norman Walsh 2005-07-19 20:40:12 UTC 
The XSL and XML Query WGs propose to resolve this issue by changing the
description of [declaration base URI] in the following way:

  Implementation defined. In the many cases, the document-uri is the
  correct answer and implementations MUST use this value if they
  have no better information. Implementations that keep track of the
  original declaration base URI for entities should use that value.

Please let us know if this satisfies your comment.
