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

So, from these results, it looks like all the browsers already behave in the same way?  It sounds like we shouldn't change anything then.

> 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.

That part of the spec needs a lot of love.  Fixing that spec is on my list of thing to do.

It seems like the right thing to here is to land these tests to document our behavior and update the spec to say what all the browsers do.
