   Wrong. How did you built "doc" ?  If it's from a memory string you can
still define the base for that document by providing the URL argument
of xmlReadMemory().

  no the base has to be set in the document. Since that part is just
described by '...' in your mail there is little more indications I can
provide.

  The base is a property of the document, not of the relax-NG transformation
compilation, this is really the wrong approach.

  yes the base is *in* the document.
  xmlNodeSetBase(xmlNodePtr cur, const xmlChar* uri)
to be called on your document. But it should really be there as the result
of parsing.
