The MHTML standard says that if there is both a Content-Base
and a Content-Location header in the same content heading, the
Content-Base has precedence over the Content-Location. Is there
any problem with this? Clearly, the standard must specify which
has precedence, good standard should not leave things like
this undefined. "undefined" in my opinion is an ugly word
in standards documents.
