This thread discussed an abundance of cases where legacy behaviour for handling <base> causes compatibility issues, and how a variety of different browsers handle each case differently due to an array of bugs, quirks, and more recently, attempts to follow the spec.

I approve of such an approach because it means I don't have to do anything. Also, and more importantly, the spec as it stands now is somewhat sane and pretty much any behaviour to address the remaining compatibility issues moves us away from sanity. Have there been more compatibility problems reported with <base> in the past few months that would change this conclusion? -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
