Comment (by ryan):

 WP has used absolute URLs since the b2 days.  If I had a time machine, it
 probably wouldn't. The main reason it still uses absolute urls is because
 changing doesn't seem worth the pain.  The points here haven't been
 ignored, they just aren't enough to make most us want to mess with this
 when we could be doing things that people beyond those hanging out in
 easily amused developer circles care about. If someone wants to patch core
 in a manner that is fully back compat with existing URL and PATH constants
 as well as existing values in the DB, I'd be interested in seeing the
 result.
