 > 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:

 as that will be the fastest solution. Don't see the need to add anything
 to WordPress for that.

 Please see comments 3 and 6 above for the rationale that is being
 discussed here. Root-relative URLs will make WordPress a more robust and
 compatible piece of software, but those of us interested in feature
 development who are trying to fix it here keep bumping into uncooperative
 responses or are being shafted and ignored.
