Re: [xml-dev] SAX Locator vs {start,end}Entity

In article <000601c2d8e6$88da49c0$6401a8c0@pcukmka> you write:

Because I want to take account of xml:base.  The base URI of an element
is either:

 - the value specified by its xml:base attribute, if it has one, or

 - the base URI of its parent, if there wasn't an intervening entity
   boundary, or

 - the retrieval URI of the containing entity.
