It's something I've never seen used, but the above explains it. I'm surprized you're seeing it, as I haven't seen it in the ten years I've been working on web pages.

There is good reason why you seldome see <base>, it seldom works
declaring relative links start at XXX is a total stuffup, is difficult to maintain, does not allow portability
