And if a situation gives neither `w3m-current-base-url' nor
`w3m-current-url', the result will be 99.9% useless no matter
what `w3m-url-fallback-base' is.

100% agreeed.  The cases where `w3m-expand-url' is called with no
`BASE' argument are not so many; it would be a great work if one
could specify it in each case (and remove `w3m-url-fallback-base'
eventually).  Anyway I will leave it as it is until someone comes
with a better solution.

Thanks.
