However currently the spec defines that the returned value should be "http://example.com/bar/bar/". This is because the .href property is defined to be a reflected property. Reflected properties that contain a URL are defined to be resolved against the element. However the base url of the <base> element is the same as for all other elements in this document "http://example.com/bar/". Resolving the value of the attribute, "bar/" against the elements base "http://example.com/bar/" yields "http://example.com/bar/bar/".
