Comment (by mattfiocca):

 @SergeyBiryukov , thanks for sharing that design decision link. I think
 each of the points made there could be addressed in my feature request
 though:

 '''RSS Readers''': the application would still display absolute urls, they
 just wouldn't be stored in the DB absolutely. Its my understanding that
 RSS readers aren't pulling content directly from the database, but are
 rendering an xml template. In this RSS template, you would use permalink
 and site_url() functions for a resource, and these functions could return
 the domain, blog root (/blog, if set that way for example), and the
 relative URI from the database concatenated together to form the absolute
 URL.

 '''Permalinks''': The root-relative issue would be addressed with the
 introduction of the BLOG_ROOT config constant (or even an entry in the
 wp_options table).

 '''Moving sites''': You would only need to revise the BLOG_ROOT config, if
 it was previously set to "/dev", it would just become "", and the site
 would continue to display the correct absolute URLs, built dynamically
 from the new conditions.
