XSLT 2.0 (via the data model spec) defines a mapping from the InfoSet to the XPath data model, and this mapping uses the xml:base attribute to determine the base URI of a node. There is still some debate about what the conformance rules should say about this mapping, i.e. about whether every product should be required to provide it. (Conformance rules are typically the last thing to get pinned down in a spec). However, the specs also allow XPath document trees to be constructed in any other way you fancy, so mappings that ignore xml:base are certainly permitted.
