Comment:

 I encounter this also when changing my Blog and WordPress addresses
 (Options > General) to be relative addresses, which shows it is not a
 templating problem.

 For example, I had a WordPress running on localhost, which had the address
 {{{http://localhost/wordpress}}} as the address. Of course, when I
 navigated to that WP from another computer, all the stylesheets and links
 were broken because they were still pointing to {{{localhost}}}.

 What saved me in early 2.0 versions was simply changing the
 {{{http://localhost/wordpress}}} to {{{/wordpress}}}, and that worked
 fine. Well, the RSS feed links broke but that didn't matter. Something's
 changed in the URL validation in 2.0.5 (it may have been 2.0.4 or 2.0.3, I
 don't know. It worked in 2.0.2, though) that forces all URLs to have a
 {{{http://}}} at the beginning.

 I had a valid reason for not having a {{{http://}}}, so WP shouldn't be
 forcing me to.

 ''P.S. I had to manually edit my MySQL tables after the above saga,
 because I couldn't log on because WP tried to load {{{http:///wp-
 login.php}}}.''
