In the value space of anyURI, are URIs supposed to be absolutized using xml:base? See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001AprJun/0256.html
The WG has agreed that URIs are not to be absolutized. An erratum, E2-11, has been created that results in changes to 3.2.17 and the bibliographic reference, specifying that we refer normatively only to section 5.4, paragraph 3 of XLink.
