More precisely, when you generate XML it's your responsibility to define a
base URI for it. If you don't define a base URI for it, then relative URIs
contained within the document cannot be resolved. 

You can define a base URI by creating an xml:base attribute within the
document, or from the API: for example, if the document is generated as the
result of an XSLT transformation controlled using JAXP, you can use
setSystemId() on the Result object passed to the transform() method.
