Imagine it is read aloud to you. Do you like to hear such long sentencens
every time?

IMO, yes.

I have explained this in the past IIRC, it makes no difference. The UA
does the URL fixing thing and next breaks it into bits again.

requests are of the form:

GET /.......

and the domain name is send in a different header (if at all for very
antique UAs).

So even if you link to bar.html, and you're "in" foo the request will
always be of the form:

GET /foo/bar.html

Ditto for http://example.com/foo/bar.html:

GET /foo/bar.html

Finally: how can this be abused in any way (or why would Google prefer one
form over another)? I would even say that the shorter form is better,
because it saves bytes for the user :-D.
