So it's not an option. This seems to me a rather artificial limitation. Isn't it possible to do a preparatory parse, just to determine the base (and the charset) and then reiterate and do the actual work - parsing text, downloading/starting scripts etc? I think UA's have to do this anyway in order to support existing content. I guess they will even do it with pages claiming to conform to HTML5 in order to rescue pages that have the <base> element in the "wrong" place. -- Henrik Dvergsdal
