What do you think this syntax brings that HTML doesn't have? I don't see your 
point.

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.

No if you add the xml:base attribute.
