This is a bug. Like brain dead comment parsing, it may be useful
to have lynx optionally work this way, it is not something that
should always be.
:r! lynx -dump -source http://www.netusa.net/~eli/notes/base.html
<html><head><title>Base Test</title>
<base href="/~eli/">
</head><body>
This link should not be
<a href="index.html">http://www.netusa.net/~eli/index.html</a>.
It should be "/~eli/".
</body></html>
:r! lynx -dump -number_links http://www.netusa.net/~eli/notes/base.html
This link should not be [1]http://www.netusa.net/~eli/index.html. It
should be "/~eli/".

This is in violation of the HTML 2.0 specs. Look at
<URL:http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_5.html#SEC5.2.2>
and notice the sentence "The value of the HREF attribute must be
an absolute URI."
I have duplicated this in versions 2.5 and the straight 2.6.
