Relative paths or absolute paths in links?

[Vincent Untz <vincent vuntz net>]

Hey all,

I'm playing with the new foundation web site branch, fixing some links.
We had lots of old links looking like
href="http://foundation.gnome.org/"; or href="/" or href="../".

The first type is clearly wrong. But I was wondering what is better
between the second one and the third one. I changed evilsedhack to do a
s,\$HTTP_PREFIX,$ROOT/g and so absolute paths like href="$HTTP_PREFIX/"
would be ok.

I suppose relative links are clearly recommanded, but I'd like to hear
that from someone with some authority :-)

Thanks

Vincent
