Would it be reasonable to check if source already begins with the  
prefix, and not prepend it in that case? I realize this would fail in  
some rare cases, but my guess is it would be the *right* behavior a  
majority of the time, and when it isn't you could work around it,  
perhaps with a "force" attribute or something similar, or simply by  
hard-coding the url.

As it is now, you need a workaround for a typical case. With this  
change, I think you would need a workaround for an atypical case.

Does that make sense? I can patch it if there's some consensus that  
it would be a worthwhile patch.

Thanks!

Geoff
