This is why we shouldn't try and linkify things - there's simply no way we can 
ever guess correctly what people mean when they can enter any old nonsense.

In this case we interpret whatever is entered there as a link, and a link with 
no host will therefore be interpreted as relative to the current page. I very 
much doubt we have ever done anything else but you're welcome to provide 
evidence that we used to do something else.

Probably we should just refuse to link anything which doesn't look like an 
absolute URL as there's no way to know what somebody might mean for other 
things.
