XML Base errata

The XML Core WG intends to make several minor amendments to the XML
Base Specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase).  Since these
involve edits throughout the document, the XML Core WG is publishing
an editor's draft for public review, rather than publishing them as
separate errata.  The draft also incorporates all the earlier errata.
After possible further modifications in light of comments received,
the group expects to request publication as a PER.

The amendments are:

   1. switch the definition of URI reference from RFC2396 to 3986;
   2. redescribe xml:base attributes as XML resource identifiers
      (a new term introduced in XLink 1.1);
   3. encourage implementations to return base "URIs" without escaping
      non-URI characters;
   4. clarify the meaning of xml:base="" and xml:base="#frag".

The draft is published at:
  http://www.w3.org/XML/2006/11/xmlbase-2e
and is referenced from the existing errata page:
  http://www.w3.org/2001/06/xmlbase-errata
