| So xml:base has to either affect both or neither.

* Thomas B. Passin

| Yes, but xml:base could still be applied to subjectIndicatorRef and
| resourceRef, provided that they were not just plain fragment
| identifiers.

If the argument I presented were the only consideration I would agree,
but they all use the -xlink:href- attribute, so it would be rather
strange for them to behave differently.

| The main reason for doing this, it seems to me, would be to shorten
| URI references for PSIs, which is probably a minor goal in the
| scheme of things.

I think it is.
