Default Baseboard: Another Question

If one is replacing baseboard in a room with tile floors, should one put any
sort of caulking at the baseboard/floor junction? Would the answer differ if
the room was a bathroom, where the floor will presumably get wet, as opposed
to a living room?

Thanks for any advice...the carpeting was replaced with tile some embarrasing
time back, and I really should do something about these molding-less rooms!

A quarter-round molding will hide any unsightly spacing. I used
caulking in the bathroom (vinyl flooring) to keep things cleaner if
there are ever any overflows or backups, but it is optional.
