 The plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/relative-image-urls/ implements
 behavior that I think ought to be WordPress's default behavior.

 Consider:
  - Fewer HTTP requests, so faster page load time.
  - No problems with partially secure pages (some resources HTTP on an
 HTTPS page or vice versa).
  - Sites can be moved to a new domain without having to edit every single
 post and page to fix the URLs of the images.

 Note that I'm not asking for image embedding to use relative URL paths,
 which has been refused previously for valid reasons.

 Rather, I'm asking for images to be embedded with absolute paths but no
 hostname or method, so that the browser uses the hostname and method of
 the current page.
