Comment:

 I don't believe that there's a full solution to this ticket. The intended
 destination of a relative link inside a post is ambiguous. A relative link
 to foo/bar.html can link to http://myblog.com/foo/bar.html on the main
 page, http://myblog.com/category/uncategorized/foo/bar.html in the
 archives and http://myblog.com/2007/11/05/8/foo/bar.html when viewing a
 single post.

 What we can do is attempt to fix "root-relative" links (those starting in
 /). I'm not sure this is worth fixing. Can someone point to the place
 where relative links are not allowed?
