Hello, All!
Все идёт к тому, что DocBook DTD будет следовать спецификации
XInclude и включит в общие атрибуты атрибут xml:base.
До тех пор можно использовать workaround, добавляя xml:base в
начало каждого документа (который использует XInclude и
нуждается в проверке на валидность).
Собственно, вопрос - будем ждать обновления DTD, или
воспользуемся workaround для документов в cvs docs ?
Я бы предложил воспользоваться.

There is a workaround for this xml:base validation problem,
until it can get put into the DocBook DTD.
Any including document could extend the DocBook DTD
in the internal subset to permit xml:base. There is
even a convenient parameter entity to do it:
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd" [
<!ENTITY % local.common.attrib "xml:base CDATA #IMPLIED">
]>
This permits the xml:base attribute in just about every
DocBook element. This extension would only have to be added
to those files that need it. That is, those files that
are going to submitted to validation, and which have
includes of files that are in a different directory from
the including document.
It would have to be removed when the standard DTD
is updated to support xml:base.
