Comment (by edwardw):

 So what you are saying is that with ob_start you would break links to
 other posts in the post content and things like that as opposed to the
 dynamically generated part. What we do need is absolute URLs for RSS
 feeds, e-mail notifications and external non-browser URLs. For URLs served
 to the browser, then what we need is to serve URLs relative to the root
 specified in the database, with external URLs (email, RSS) served the
 "external" domain.

 Then why do you oppose me trying to find a solution to this problem? I
 think it would make WordPress more robust as a result, but I keep running
 into un-cooperative responses.
