Lynx 2.3 appears to totally ignore tags of the form

One nasty result of this is that Lynx cannot follow
most of the links on the World Wide Web consortium
home page! That's

which contains the following tag:

Without the <base href= > tag, Lynx misinterprets all
relative URLs later on that page, such as

The <a href="Consortium/">W3 Consortium</a>

and

<A HREF="../DataSources/Top.html" NAME="44">
What's out there?</A>
