I use links relative to the root directory everywhere for example:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="/print.css"/> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
<div id="mainnav"> <ul> <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/portfolio.php">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="/article/">Articles</a></li> <li><a href="/photography/">Photography</a></li> <li><a href="/blog/">Blog</a></li> <li><a href="/contactus.php">Contact Us</a></li> </ul> </div>
etc
If you use a <base> tag than you cant run a local mirror of sites for testing. Eg: I run Apache/PHP/MySQL etc on my pc to make sure everything is running fine before I upload to the clients FTP server

That is what I use. Of course the directories and filenames are different, but you get the idea.
I often just use a <base> tag. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_base.asp
Although, I very rarely see other people use it. Since it has come up, why don't folks use this tag?
