[Zope-Coders] Re: 342/ 3 Resubmit "Zope shouldn't insert <base ...> tag to File objects with text/html content type."

Just to chime in (again), I don't think any feathers were ruffled here. S=
ome=20
eggs are bound to get broken on bug day with that many changes coming fro=

I think Chris was just pointing out that the BASE tag behavior is in a=20
precarious balance in Zope. Its easy to cause widespread breakage by "fix=
ing"=20
base tag behavior that may be arguably wrong, but still depended on by=20
existing sites. In retrospect I don't think this was one of those cases.
