My question was about what happens with _relative_ URIs .. :)

Removing a message wouldn't change the behavior other
than eliminating a diagnostic about what could have broken
when a relative ID -- like "foo.xml" -- gets interpreted
relative to the wrong base, and things start go go really
haywire.  So if something changed any behavior, it wasn't
shown in the email I responded to...

In any case, it's an application error to pass around
relative URIs without a base URI, and expect some other
component (like a SAX parser) to correctly guess the
right base URI.
