BASE tags in HTML documents are rarely used. Most HTML documents go without.

For example, given the following BASE declaration and A declaration: +ADwAIQ-DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC +ACI--//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN+ACI- +ACI-http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd+ACIAPg- +ADw-HTML+AD4- +ADw-HEAD+AD4- +ADw-TITLE+AD4-Our Products+ADw-/TITLE+AD4- +ADw-BASE href+AD0AIg-http://www.aviary.com/products/intro.html+ACIAPg- +ADw-/HEAD+AD4- +ADw-BODY+AD4- +ADw-P+AD4-Have you seen our +ADw-A href+AD0AIg-../cages/birds.gif+ACIAPg-Bird Cages+ADw-/A+AD4-? +ADw-/BODY+AD4- +ADw-/HTML+AD4- the relative URI +ACI-../cages/birds.gif+ACI- would resolve to: http://www.aviary.com/cages/birds.gif I'm sure you may be clear about the problem in proxy redirection. If no base element existing, problem will happen.
