Thanks, I'll pass this correction to the editors.

Yes, you have to be prepared to follow a few indirections:
The XPath data model [3] defines the base URI property in terms of the
[base URI] property of the InfoSet.
The InfoSet [4] says that certain information items have a base URI
property, and says that they are computed as defined in XML Base.
XML Base [5] defines how the base URI property depends on xml:base.
