If you want to be compatible with IE for this, what you should check is what happens if the base URI is _changed_ while the XMLHttpRequest object exists, e.g. by changing the attribute directly or by mutating the <base> elements in the document (if that works).
I'm pretty sure I tested changing <base>, though not for things like XMLHttpRequest, and it had no effect. Similar to changing xml:base in most browsers (just imagine the impact it has on documents with lots of resources, do they all need to be reloaded? per which specification?). I suppose I can test that again though.
With regards to baseURI, Internet Explorer doesn't expose such an attribute.
