Not Prototype and not ExtJS.

The specification clearly says: "When present, the BASE element must appear in the HEAD section of an HTML document, before any element that refers to an external source. The path information specified by the BASE element only affects URIs in the document where the element appears." [1] So your proposal will break existing TYPO3 web sites.

As a result, -1.
