I've been thinking that what we really need is a simple filter that would properly do urls. It could look, for example, like:

What do you think this syntax brings that HTML doesn't have? I don't see your point.
What it brings is that with HTML you have to know the relative path in Drupal 4.7; while you don't need to know the site, if your site is at:
http://www.example.com/foo/bar
Just using href='node/25' won't work. You need to use href='/foo/bar/node/25' which can complicate multi-site quite a bit.
It'd be filtered into:
But why URLs should be converted to absolute? I know exactly where the content will be posted, and where the target I'm linking to is located, and they are at the same site, so I can post relative links, and if I need to move the site, links still work.
(I pick absolute because content can end up in an RSS feed and RSS feeds work better with absolute URLs)
No if you add the xml:base attribute.
If only more than a handful of readers actually supported this. Enough don't that Drupal's RSS feeds can be a bit problematic.
