I've now written the test case. See
http://www.cafeconleche.org/redirecttest.xml
(with validation turned on to make sure the DTD loads). Xerces is
*not* using the right base URI. libxml gets this wrong too. I'll file
the bug with Apache.

Hmm, looks like I already did. See
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20383
Bugzilla says it was fixed in CVS a couple of weeks after the release
of Xerces-J 2.5, so presumably the fix will show up in 2.6 which last
I heard was due in November.

Once that's done, all JDOM should need to do is bundle Xerces 2.6 or
later and make sure it's used instead of the JDK default parser and
this should all take care of itself.
