  Hum, the relative paths are actually URI-References from an XML point
of view. In that case I suggest to use
   <data type='base' href='relative/path/to/base.xml'/>
   etc...
because people will immediately understand that an href attribute is 
an URI reference.
  I'm not sure I understand the concept behind base or filelist and other
but purely from a syntax viewpoint href attributes are better.
