Bill, I don't know what the answer is regarding if/when it'll change but it's an easy override for you if it bugs you. This code will replace occurrence of your url address in your text with a relative path. I'm sure somebody out there has a better function for it but it's done the job for me over the years.

c.

function thisismyurl_clean_static_url($content) {
	return str_replace('href="'get_bloginfo('url'), 'href="', $content );
	return str_replace('src="'get_bloginfo('url'), 'src="', $content );
}
add_filter('content_save_pre','thisismyurl_clean_static_url','99');
