Supppose I have a paragraph of text with a link (or two or three) in it. I
highlight this text, cut and paste it somewhere else on the page.

The links are transformed from their original relative form 
<A href="blah/blah.htm">

to something like <A href="file:///home/julian/websites/nat3/directory/blah.htm"

This is not a problem provided one remembers to go over eac link and reset it to
relative. It is a problem if one doesn't and publishes page!!!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Page with links - relative
2.Cut & paste links anywhere else on page
3.Check html 
Actual Results:  
Relative links became absolute, ie file:///blah/blah.htm

Expected Results:  
Kept links as relative
