Bug Description

1) I'm using Inkscape 0.46 on Mac OS X to open an SVG document that was created by hand

2) The root svg element contains the attribute xml:base=".."

3) image elements with xlink:href="images/image.png" don't work properly ("Linked image not found" error)

4) If I change the xlink:href attribute to xlink:href="../images/image.png" it works correctly

Confirmed with Inkscape 0.47 and rev. 9676.

But it works with the trunk version if I replace xml:base=".." with xml:base="../".
I'm not sure how it is specified in the W3C docs, but it's at least a good workaround...
