a URL and/or direct quotation of the spec is the way to proceed in a discussion.

The key text seems to be <https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/single-page.html#frozen-base-url>. The list item numbered 2 says the href is interpreted in the context of the base URL that would be used if there were no BASE element.
