 Replying to [comment:46 caesarsgrunt]:
 > Also, I'd like to point out that the current system actually makes it
 ''harder'' to move your content to a different platform - since your image
 paths are hardcoded and so you ''have'' to keep the WP directory
 structure. It even makes it hard to change your domain, since the full
 domain is currently used instead of relative paths.

 No, both of those make it *easier*, not harder.

 It's easier to use a existing tools (such as a straightforward search and
 replace tool or a database access tool) than have to wrie platform-
 specific PHP code to produce what you're trying to make.

 > The problem with that is that most users are likely to want the added
 functionality

 We're not talking about the functionality, because shortcodes are not
 required to create that functionality.

 I'm all for the functionality. I'm against your suggested implementation.
