The (slim) counter argument to this of course, is that you're corrupting
your content with absolute URLs, that are also subject to change.

Taking your 'average' WordPress use-case, relative URLs would be more
than adequate, as the content will be used within the main WordPress
instance. RSS feeds being the exception of course - but the exception
being the place that the extra leg work required makes the most sense. 

I do of course see Otto's very valid point, that the content should be
able to stand-alone. In my personal preference, stand-alone content
shouldn't have the absolute domain - as then it's tied to that domain,
and that domain only. True stand-alone content should work no matter
what the domain.
