[Bug 15752] New: base.href shouldn't reflect the content attribute normally. It needs to be resolved against the document's URI *before* <base> is applied; otherwise "foo/" resolves to "http://whatever/foo/foo/" instead of "http://whatever/foo/".

           Summary: base.href shouldn't reflect the content attribute
                    normally.  It needs to be resolved against the
                    document's URI *before* <base> is applied; otherwise
                    "foo/" resolves to "http://whatever/foo/foo/" instead
                    of "http://whatever/foo/".

resolved against the document's URI *before* <base> is applied; otherwise
