Hey Uschi

The baseurl is also not perfect in my eyes under several circumstances. 
Instead of building the links like "page/subpage.html"
It would be nice to have a option to create absolute links: 
"/page/subpage.html"
this works if your TYPO3 Installation is not in a subdirectory of your 
domain.

(Technically: By now you can achieve this by parsing the page before 
output with the help of a HOOK)
