It's IMHO a bug in IE, since an empty relative URL should reliably
point to the current URL, which is otherwise the default BASE anyway.
We could change <base href=""> to <base href=".">, but that would
break links like <a href="#fragment">, which should point to the named
fragment of the current URL, not to the path component above it.  We
could change it to <base href="filename">, but that would break when
you rename the file.

It would probably be most correct if Wget removed the BASE tag
altogether.  The reason I didn't do that in the first place was
because it was easier to only change the attribute value.  In addition
to that I considered it a good idea for -k to modify the document as
little as possible.  I didn't test it on IE.
