What if you don't detach or remove a element, but remove the base attribute
from it (assuming it was loaded with one). That can effect the base URI of
not only the element, but all it's descendants. Should the base URI be
frozen then?

This one's easy. Changing an xml:base attribute changes the calculation of the base URI for that element and its descendants. However, it does not change the actual base URI for any of them.
