No, I'm listening. We're not communicating. That takes both of
us.

I understand the issue. I have repeatedly said that XML Base (as
it says fairly clearly in the Recommendation) alters the base URI
of the document prior to *any* further resolution. That's it.
Fragment identifier resolution is affected by this, as is any kind
of resolution. If there's any discrepancy with regards XML Base
and RFC 2396, use XML Base as it was *designed* for use in XML
environments and is the later document.
