SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add an Atom feed that makes use of XML Base (e.g.
https://annaaurora.eu/atom.xml)
2. fetch feed
3.  open article/entry in feed
4. click "Complete Story" link

OBSERVED RESULT
opens the XML Base attribute content/URI of the feed's top level element in web
browser/maybe doesn't do anything if the top level element does not have an
xml:base attribute.

EXPECTED RESULT
opens the article in web browser, calculating it's URI correctly according to
the XML Base specification.
