Comment(by Otto42):

 Instead of using an image specific shortcode, I'd prefer shortcodes for
 specific URLs that could be put into posts. Example:

 {{{
 <img src="[homeurl]/wp-content/uploads/whatever.jpg" />
 }}}

 We could have contenturl, pluginurl, homeurl, siteurl, etc. Each of these
 is a relatively simple single line function for a shortcode. It would
 serve to make the content less dependent on the absolute URL, but not too
 dependent on the shortcodes (since a simple search/replace of [homeurl]
 with the actual URL could fix up the content in the database).

 Plus, it's simple enough to be applicable to more than just the
 image/upload handling functions.
