Actually, I got a little ahead of myself about the BASE tag.  If the CSP
is specified in an HTTP header, then I don't think the BASE HTML tag
should have any effect on the resolution of a relative URI.  It is
defined in a different layer, and should really only affect the HTML
content and anything it does (not the protocol-level stuff).

So in brief, I think the BASE tag shouldn't affect any HTTP header-level
URIs at all, but relative URIs might be okay since the policy-uri and
report-uri are required to be same scheme/host/port anyway.
