In the 3.7 manual this is what I was going by (in the XEP options 
section of the user guide (italics mine)):

BASE

   Base directory for relative URLs, used when the input source has no 
system ID. Should be a valid URL. In addition to protocols provided by 
the Java host, resource: URL scheme is supported. _This setting can be 
overridden in the XSL-FO instance, using xml:base attribute._

Cheers,

E.
