I'm not convinced it needs to though. I remember why I added 
BaseRelativeResolver in the first place, but when I wrote a unit test 
to demonstrate the breakage, the test passed. Possibly this just 
worked around a bug in an earlier version of Xerces, and is no longer 
necessary. Or possibly some of the changes to base URIs for the 
document itself have replaced its functionality. I'm not sure. If I 
can take it out, that's one less class to deal with.
