If you want a local base, then use xml:base. That's what it is for.
When the spec says you SHOULD treat html content as if it were in a
<DIV>, it adds a certain amount of unclarity as how such Atom feeds
should be parsed. I'm asking merely to see if there's any consensus as
to how it should be done. I have no control over the vast majority of
feeds out there - telling me to use xml:base will make no difference, as
I have no control over the feed in which I found a <base>.
Hmm, the same is true for a large number of other cases. Atom in general
is ambigious at best in terms of error handling.
I suppose you could raise this on the WHATWG list. Asking what happens if
you set innerHTML of a <div> where the setted value has both a <base> and
an <a> for instance.
