Why. href in a web page may be written without "http://www.kernel.org" We certainly want to match such href string. > and probably can be dropped without any loss.

Do you want to match such href? I do not understand your point here. (Quite frankly this part of logic is inherited. Unless someone explain me and take responsibility of such changes, I am reluctant to change logic around this. base page magic etc. is a bit too complicated for me.) Osamu
