But I also have to admit, I'm not 100% sure how
| <note xml:base="http://www.example.edu/SydNotes.xml" target="#silly"/>
is supposed to be dereferenced. I have always thought it meant
the element at http://www.example.edu/SydNotes.xml#silly. But RFC
3986 "Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax" says
|  When a same-document reference is dereferenced for a retrieval
|  action, the target of that reference is defined to be within the
|  same entity (representation, document, or message) as the
|  reference; therefore, a dereference should not result in a new
|  retrieval action.
which confuses me.


All this leads me to prefer <prefixDef> over @xml:base.
