first of all the <base> element can only be inserted in HTML
documents. The spec states that there can only be one <base> element.
The <base> element must be used before any elements that use
relative URI's.
If the insertion mode is "in body" handle the token as follows:
A start tag token whose tag name is one of: "base", "link",
"meta", "title"
Parse error. Process the token as if the insertion mode had
been "in head". [1]
So inserting a <base> element in the body results in a parse error.
