I never thought about this way to use the base tag. I am surprised that it 
works, well sort of.

Yes, this is what I had in mind. Define the base and use relative links.

AFAIK it does not do this yet.

What about leaving the links as they are and just replace the base tag?
You could have two base tags one for your filesystem and one for your server 
then you only have a single point in your documents to change.

I am aware of the whole problematic and I hope that we will be able to solve 
this in a good way for Quanta 4.
