Description arcadius 2014-11-01 21:55:59 UTC 
Support the <base>....</base> construction inside the <body> element.
That will simplify embedding external HTML code.
Comment 1 arcadius 2014-11-02 13:17:00 UTC 
For example, one can embed external document without <iframe> tag:

<div>
   <base href="http://www.w3.org/">
      <?php echo file_get_contents('http://www.w3.org/standards/'); ?>
   </base>
</div>

This is a feature request - if you want to bring it to HTML please incubate it and get some traction around it at https://discourse.wicg.io first
