Comment (by isaacschlueter):

 This also is pretty annoying for hosting a test/dev copy of my blog on
 localhost, or any time a host could have multiple names (a pretty common
 occurrence.)  If I want to show the copy running on my local box to
 someone (to get their opinion on a new design, for example,) then I need
 to change the settings, since the hostname that they'll see will be
 something like "traveling-laptop-80.corp", but when I'm home, it's
 "localhost" or "sistertrain.local".

 To get around this, I had set my blog URL to /foohack.com/, so that it
 would create links relative to whatever host the browser was seeing.  The
 canonical url feature breaks this, however, because it seems to be pre-
 pending http:// to the URL.
