[TYPO3-dev] config.baseURL and section links: page needs to be reloaded because of hardcoded base element?

[Dr. Ronald P. Steiner]

Hi Uschi,

you are absolutely right, it would be possible to generate absolute 
URL's for every link or generate relative URL's to the actual page.
But first it would be more effort in figuring out the relative URL's to 
the actual page and second it would make html code longer and therefore 
slower to load.
... and there is no drawback using the baseUrl. So why do this effort?
