Comment:

 I'm with @nacin on this. Having absolute URLs in WordPress is a design
 decision that's not likely to change. Furthermore I don't see any
 compelling user case that requires it to change. The user case here:

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

 is very rare and should preferably be handled in .htaccess or web.config
 as that will be the fastest solution. Don't see the need to add anything
 to WordPress for that.
