imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/html/semantics/document-metadata/the-base-element/base_href_specified.sub.html causes the next test to be flaky.

This is possibly WebKit1-specific.

Basically, the load error from base_href_specified.sub.html may be displayed on the output of the following test (base_href_unspecified.html).

Skipped in <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/189479>.

Since the load is an image load and it seems to outlive its document loader. This may be related to ping loads. We may need to tweak this test to make sure it waits for the load to finish before completing.

We may have other tests skipped because of favicons, I vaguely remember this being a problem before.

[Chris Dumez]

In this case though, I suspect this is not favicon related as the test loads test.ico via an IMG element:
<base id="base" href="http://{{domains[www]}}:{{ports[http][0]}}">
<img id="test" src="test.ico" style="display:none">

https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/commit/9b56271427b997898f376a198756467f1faaf8bd <- remove `.sub` part from the test and we have `base_href_specified.html` and we are passing it.

I just resynced whole directory to remove this test and stale expectation as well in https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/45563.

Marking this as `RESOLVED WONTFIX` since we don't need to do anything.
