The [[HTML]] <a data-cite="html#the-base-element"><code>base</code></a> element can be used to specify the <a data-cite="html#document-base-url">document base URL</a> for the purposes of parsing URLs.
When using it in an <a>EPUB Publication</a>, the interpretation of the <code>base</code> elements may inadvertently result in references to <a>Remote Resources</a>, i.e., resources that are outside the <a>EPUB Container</a>. Using the <code>base</code> element in an <a>EPUB Publication</a> may cause Reading Systems to misinterpret the location of resources (e.g., relative links to other documents in the publication might appear as links to a Web site if the <code>base</code> element specifies an absolute URL). To avoid significant interoperability issues, EPUB Creators should not use the <code>base</code> element.
