I meant that the URI References for subjectIndicatorRefs, etc., would not be
just plain fragment identifiers, but more like this (omitting namespace
declarations) -

<topicMap xml:base='http://psi-standards.org/'>
   <topic id='pet-dog'>
      <subjectIdentity>
         <subjectIndicatorRef xlink:href='pet-ontology#dog'/>
       </subjectIdentity>
   </topic>
</topicMap>

This way, you would clearly discrimininate between references that were to
be affected by xml:base from those that were not (the internal
cross-references with plain frag IDs).  So these things would not behave
differently.
