[TEST] Basic base-test.html

Tooltips for relative URL links show up incorrectly. They appear to show using the documentURL
instead of the <base> if one is defined. The HTML5 spec also mentions that xml:base could
affect the real link in the end.

Example: (file:///Users/joe/Desktop/base-test.html)

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>This is an example for the <base> element</title>
        <base href="http://www.example.com/news/index.html">
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>Visit the <a href="archives.html">archives</a>.</p>
    </body>
    </html>

Hovering the link in the Elements heirarchy gives: [incorrect]
file:///Users/joe/Desktop/archives.html

Clicking the link gives: [correct]
http://www.example.com/news/archives.html

Attached test case for a basic page, and another using an iframe.
