Okay, I think you've just opened my eyes!  The way you explained it ("relative 
to how you *found* the base document") makes all the behavior I've seen make 
sense.  The major piece I was missing was that the path passed in to setURI() 
or indirectly through setSVGDocument() is used for more than just loading the 
actual document.

Thanks again for your input and patience.
