Jason Baker is absolutely correct that <base> belongs in <head> in
HTML Wilbur.
In fact, <base> has *only* ever been allowed in head; even before HTML
was formalized as an application of SGML, the <base> element was
intended for use as an identification of the document as a whole; 80+
<head> elements in a document is a severely degenerate case, and that
it ever worked as intended was purely luck.
Before generating HTML documents, one should take some small amount of
care to determine what various elements are for.
