 Using absolute URLs are needed for email, and maybe RSS, and RPC.

 For normal pages on a fresh install (default theme):

 -Using absolute URLs like "http://domain.tld/path/file" (current behavior)
 breaks css and links if the server uses more then one domain/ip

 -Using relative URLs like "../path/file" would likely break a lot and make
 WordPress unnecessarily complicated.

 -Using root-relative URLs like "/path/file" is the correct design decision
 maximizing compatibility/functionality.
