Personally it's something I would be very reluctant to do. It would add a whole lot of code for basically no benefit for web developers. I have never heard of anyone that actually desired changing the base uri for all or parts of a page dynamically.
Note that the new base URI would only take effect once you actually did something with a potentially affected object. For instance, <img> would not start loading a new image if the base URI changes. <img>.src = <img>.getAttribute("src") could start loading a new resource however if the base URI changed since the initial load.
