Really?  Here's what I get on the html branch:

 >>> from lxml.etree import HTML
 >>> h = HTML('<span>', None, 'http://foo.com')
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: function takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)
 >>> h = HTML('<span>', base_url='http://foo.com')
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: 'base_url' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
