Absolutely. But we've found (as I presume the original poster found)  
that it can be problematic in certain cases. For us one of those  
cases is where user generated content (and links) abound. Our users  
can have problems with HTML even in a WYSIWYG editor, let alone  
understanding Zopeisms like acquisition.

In such cases, I've made sure the template used to deliver this  
content checks the requested URL against the absolute URL and  
redirects (and then logs and emails) when such a indiscretion occurs.
