No, consider an external entity reference or an XInclude that loads 
up a document containing only text, comments, and processing 
instructions. These would have a base URI that differs from the base 
of their parent element. So I think that setBaseURI does make sense 
for these kinds of nodes. It only really doesn't make sense for 
document type declarations and attributes.
