Oh, I should have said that the bug has been reported more than a year
ago and is still not resolved, so there might not be that many pages
out there relying on this behavior (note that those pages are also
obviously "abusing the base URI by assigning it an unrelated URI for
the purpose of creating an artificial shorthand notation for external
references" [1], otherwise they wouldn't be "bugged" by Safari's
RFC3986-compliant behavior)
