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.
Well, that was my intention with the initial proposal. But Hixie pointed
out that "did something" is a very hard thing to define. For example on
a <a href="...">, does the user hovering the node count? Does resizing
the window count? Does removing the node from the DOM and reinserting it
count?
