The base issue on SAX-devel was whether SAX should be
including support for functionality that's clearly not required
to support "core XML" (XML 1.0 + namespaces) ... and
which, in cases where it's desirable (there was argument
that the answer is "never") is easily/naturally layered.

That presupposes that they are different things. Let me put
it to you this way: when would it lead to anything other than
confusion to resolve a URI http://xml.example.com/foo in
two different ways depending on whether it was used as
the SYSTEM id for an entity, or something else?
I'll also point out that "resolve" is a vague word. Sometimes
it means just turning text into more absolute URI, while in other
cases it involves fetching the content -- perhaps with some
particular set of constaints like "accepts PNG not GIF". So
this question is posed in a rather vague manner.
