I tried this on Chrome, Safari, FF 4 (FF 3 does not support updating the document base) and IE 8.

All pass the first part of the test ...

debug("Base case, rebase URL without attribute having been set");
base.href = "http://old_base/";
a.href = "foo?query";
shouldBe("a.href", "'http://old_base/foo?query'");
base.href = "http://new_base/";
shouldBe("a.href", "'http://new_base/foo?query'");

PASS a.href is http://old_base/foo?query
PASS a.href is http://new_base/foo?query

All fail the second part of the test in the same way - the href is not rebased ...

debug("Rebase URL where search attribute has been set");
base.href = "http://old_base/";
a.href = "foo";
a.search = "query";
shouldBe("a.href", "'http://old_base/foo?query'");
base.href = "http://new_base/";
shouldBe("a.href", "'http://new_base/foo?query'");

PASS a.href is http://old_base/foo?query
FAIL a.href should be http://new_base/foo?query, was http://old_base/foo?query

I don't see anything in the spec - http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/urls.html - which suggests that setting an attribute should make the href absolute and therefore not subject to changes to the document base URI.
