URL resolution sanity check

I need to confirm something consider the following situation:

<parent xml:base="http://www.example.com/data/limit/..">
   <child xml:base="test.xml"/>
</parent>

Is the base URL of the child element 
http://www.example.com/data/limit/test.xml or 
http://www.example.com/data/test.xml ?

In other words, is http://www.example.com/data/limit/.. essentially the 
same as http://www.example.com/data/limit/../ or not?
