[Bug 11450] Reconsider <img src=""> with a base URL

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11450

The point of not fetching anything for <img src=""> was to reduce useless
fetching. I think most pages that use <base> just use it to point to their
site's root for convenience in writing their <a href>s, and don't expect it to
make their <img src=""> templates suddenly make network requests.
