Absolute addresses can be useful too. Specially, when one is making a web site and, let's say, the logo has to be included in many pictures, then one doesn't need several copies of the logo. If the logo changes a bit, it's fine if all the SVG pictures including it change at once, and if the SVG pictures can be moved without the links being rewritten. I think the import dialog could give 3 alternatives, not 2 as in Inkscape 0.48.0: "embedded"/"linked to absolute address"/"linked to relative link" and explain the 3, for instance: "Use absolute address for pictures you won't copy and whose address is stable and can be shared, specially pictures on the web, including pictures in your website.".
