When questions that simple produce conversations that
complicated, my strong advice is to set the technology aside and
do something else instead.

A (somewhat Talmudic) discussion on the TEI
mailing list (https://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A0=tei-l)
regarding xml:base
has come to a conclusion I want to run by XML-DEV readers.
TEI defines some XML attributes as RFC
3986-compliant URIs that fully honor xml:base.
The question is whether a value in this
attribute of the form #fragment refers to an XML element in
the document that contains the attribute or to a location
specified by xml:base.
The (almost) consensus is that to resolve such
a standalone fragment, xml:base
values should be ignored.
In this excerpt from example.xml
<div xml:base="http://www.dictionary.com/a.html">
<p>
<ref target="#apple">Apple</ref>
</p>
</div>
does #apple refer to an element in example.xml
that has id="apple" or to http://www.dictionary.com/a.html#apple?
The first, right?
