That is true. Why would <base .. /> be bad and <img .. /> be ok? I smell something fishy with the validator. Maybe it is time to whine to the validator maintainers.

Hello,
Perhaps another option would be to make zope have an option to spit out the ' /' or not rather than requiring source code changes. Alas, this would also affect other products. Image, for example, also spits out ' />'.
yes, but for the image tag the w3c validator does not complain. I don't even get a warning for that it is ignored. Whereas the <base .../> tag is tagged as error. STRANGE!?!
