I don't really understand why or when you need this addition. I 
personally use <base> only if I rewrite the URI to some sub-directory 
stuff. (index.php?page=download&action=view&name=foobar gets 
/download/view:foobar)

Or do you want to use it to specify, that all images can be found in 
upload/images/?
