This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Under "The document base URL of a Document object is the absolute URL obtained by running these substeps" appears substep 5 which reads: "5. Otherwise, let url be the value of the href attribute of the first such element." I believe this should read "Otherwise, let fallback base url be..." since this is a alternative continuation of step 4 which is setting the fallback base url. Regards, Glenn
