--- Comment #11 from Hartmut Schorrig <[email protected]> ---
Sorry, one more comment.
There are two reasons for relative paths, please distinguish:

a) Images that are inserted as links. In my opinion, this is an important
function. 
Because external images can be edited (changed, updated) independently of the
document, and used also in other contexts, e.g. linked from html files.
But this links are resolved for example in an pdf document, in pdf there are
internally embedded.

b) Hyperlinks. These should either be file links, which are often necessary as
relative links. Or just www links. Relative hyperlinks to a file location also
work in a generated pdf on a website, that is opened with an internal browser
window or tab. And they work especially well for a downloaded pdf if the linked
files (e.g. javedoc files) are also downloaded to the correct local storage
location. This is in my mind a necessary feature to work independent of an
internet connection with downloaded documents.

The internet should not be presumed as available in all situations.
