Comment 1 Charlie Du 2011-12-29 16:32:03 UTC 
There is a case indicates that the value of  a SVG fill attribute does not follow the <base> href:

<base href="http://www.w3cgroup.com">
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <defs>
        <radialGradient id="myGradient" fx="0.5" fy="0.5">
            <stop offset="0" stop-color="red" stop-opacity="1"/>
            <stop offset="1" stop-color="blue" stop-opacity="0"/>
        </radialGradient>
    </defs>
    <circle cx="100" cy="100" r="35" fill="url(#myGradient)" stroke="none"/>
</svg>

It could be duplicated on Mac OS X 10.6.8 / Safari 5.1.2

On the other hand, Chromium nightly and Firefox nightly do honor <base> here
and render this example as a black circle, which was described as "abnormal" by
the original reporter.

Also, I couldn't find the section where how <base> affects examples like <div
style="background: url(xxx)"> is defined in the spec. ([CSSATTR] doesn't seem
to mention this either.)

That is up to the SVG and CSS specifications to define. And they should take it into account. <base> simply sets the base URL for the document.
