I would agree that, as a best practice, the xml:base should appear on
the content element, but implementations need to be prepared to use

Request URI).


Maybe.  Highly error-prone.


  In other words, consumers of the feed *have* to assume
that the current xml:base in context is going to be correct and
publishers of the feed simply have to be responsible for Doing The Right 
Thing.
Agreed. I think providing an xml:base in your feed is a best practice. -Tim
