To take this from a discussion last month on atom-syntax:
What is meant to happen if you set innerHTML of a <div> where the set
value has both a <base> and an <a>?
There's an open issue on this: "Need to cope with second and subsequent
base elements affecting subsequent elements magically."
first of all the <base> element can only be inserted in HTML documents.
The spec states that there can only be one <base> element. The <base>
element must be used before any elements that use relative URI's.
If the insertion mode is "in body" handle the token as follows:
A start tag token whose tag name is one of: "base", "link",
"meta", "title"
Parse error. Process the token as if the insertion mode had been
"in head". [1]
So inserting a <base> element in the body results in a parse error.
Well, it also tells you how to deal with this parse error.
