I think <base> should also be allowed in XML documents. It

<base> is able to set Document.baseURI where xml:base can at most
set Document.documentElement.baseURI. (Document.baseURI influences
how XMLHttpRequest works for instance.)
The <base> element section should probably also talk about what
happens when you modify the .href attribute.
And today the base element already works in at least FFox and Opera
also when content is sent as true XHTML 1.0, so this would not
really change anything but the spec.
XHTML 1.0/1.1 doesn't allow xml:base, though, so <base> is the only
way to set a base URL within the document.
