[FLOW3-general] Base viewhelper and jQuery tabs

[Stephen Bungert]

I'm using jQuery tabs to show fields for my models on different tabs so that 
they are not all visible.

According to the Flow documentation, the base VH should always be added to 
get correct links.

But if I add it, jquery tabs loads the site root into the tabs (and I see 
the welcome to flow page in my own page).

I found that by removing the base tag everything still works ok - except 
forms, but I set the absolute property to true and they work too now.

Is it really important for anything that I have the base tag? have I caused 
problems for myself that i haven't yet discovered?

I found a bug report from someone who uses codeigniter and jquery tabs, this 
framework also requires the base tag.

The jquery people said their handling of the base tag was correct and won't 
fix this "bug". It's a problem of frameworks missusing the base tag, and 
that the bug reported should correct the urls in his markup.

What I want to know is, should I add the base tag back, and fix the problem 
some how on the client in the JS I use, or is it ok not to have a base tag?
