  3. XML Base • XML Base is one such standard. • Part of the XML Activity • Provides developers with a short cut. • Allows developers to specify a base URI in order to easily resolve related URIs throughout the document. • Written by Jonathan Marsh, an employee of Microsoft.

  4. Structure of Recommendations • Although the structure of each recommendation varies slightly from document to document, most include the following: • Abstract statement • Status of the recommendation • Table of contents • List of terminology.

  5. Industry’s View of XML Base • Firefox supports XML Base. • Roy T. Fielding declared XML Base to be an abuse of the base URI function. • Most developers tend to disagree with Fielding, and the general consensus is that XML Base is a useful recommendation.

  6. Current Status of XML Base • The XML Base recommendation is currently endorsed as a stable W3C recommendation. • However, at any point the recommendation may be reviewed and further modified.
