The Lynx actions seems to be the most reasonable for a text browser as
very few people actually cover 0,0 with anything sensible.

I'd agree that that was a feature.  I can understand why it happens though -
it involves less special case code to fake up a page and then process it 
normally than to fake up a page, but give it the BASE of the containing
page.  I've not looked at the code, but I suspect one could generate a
BASE element (if it appears as HTML at any stage) or the equivalent internal
form of one.
