Description

Node.baseURI should be used when getting the HTMLAnchorElement.href property. (It maybe needed for other properties as well, will add them here once I investigate.)

Research direction

Start at the HTMLAnchorElement.href getter and compare its behavior with Node.baseURI, using the linked MDN definition as the reference. Check whether related properties are affected only after understanding this path. Done means href accounts for the node's base URI and the behavior is covered by the project's existing checks.
