In a word, IE expects the BASE tag to be rendered as <base href='...'></base> .
We currently render it as <base href='...'/>
The cross-browser, XHTML + HTML4 compliant solution would render:
<base href='...'/><!--[if IE]></base><![endif]-->
Description
IE is very sensitive to the way the BASE tag is written. This can affect correct rendering of CSS rules + javascript execution.
