Comment(by hakre):

 Otto42, you're judging about all this if there would already be a concrete
 implementation you must talk against. It's just a feature request. I have
 gotten many Feedback about that from diverse forums so I opened it up
 here. Just take that as it is. There is no must be relative links but to
 be free-thinking about the Issue. You write it yourself:

 "I can think of no sensible reason to care whether they're absolute or
 relative, as long as the user sees the bloody page in the end" (by Otto42)

 So therefore I would strongly speak about having relative links where they
 make sense, for example in the database data where those links can be
 realtive to the upload path for files. Just to give you an Idea. Since
 those links are relative, they can greped with ease and change to
 (absolute) links in the webblog output. (only to give an idea, this should
 not be a concrete implementation).
