I agree, the IP address still works - as long as the base hasn't been tampered 
with unwisely. <base href="/groups/" /> works fine, while <base 
href="http://myserver/groups/" /> will break down if the DNS fails.
But nearly the whole internet breaks down when the DNS fails... *eg*
Wise those running their own forwarding caching DNS servers for they keep the 
internet more redundant and reduce the traffic.

Well, they're obsolete now.
<base/> has died.
Long live @xml:base!

Perhaps before continueing any discussion about <base/>, you should become 
familiar with the XML Base recommendation and see wether the problem you're 
talking of still exists in XML Base.

on it?
