Actually, I think it would.  Since xml:base can be applied to any element,
there's nothing to stop you doing:

 <SOURCES>
<SOURCE xml:base="http://human.genomes.org/das/ncbi36/">
<!-- ... -->
</SOURCE>
<SOURCE xml:base="http://mouse.genomes.org/das/ncbim37/">
<!-- ... -->
</SOURCE>
</SOURCES>

However, I don't think it's quite in the spirit of xml:base to assign
semantics to the presence (or absence) of xml:base attributes -- it's just
mean to control the handling of relative URIs.
