+  &gt;&gt; So, have urlto(x, y) use `$local_url`? There are few calls, but IMO
+  &gt;&gt; they&#39;re for the most important things - wikilinks, img, map and
+  &gt;&gt; other ordinary hyperlinks. Using `$local_url` would be fine for
+  &gt;&gt; webserver-based use, but it does stop you browsing your wiki&#39;s
+  &gt;&gt; HTML over `file:///` (unless you set that as the base URL, but
+  &gt;&gt; then you can&#39;t move it around), and stops you moving simple
+  &gt;&gt; outputs (like the docwiki!) around.
+  &gt;&gt;
+  &gt;&gt; I personally think breaking the docwiki is enough to block that.

+  &gt;&gt; * `urlto($link, $anything, 1)` (but idiomatically, `$anything` is
+  &gt;&gt;   normally undef): absolute, starts with `http&#91;s&#93;://`
+  &gt;&gt;
+  &gt;&gt; --&#91;&#91;smcv&#93;&#93;

 * `IkiWiki::baseurl` has a new second argument which works like the
   third argument of `urlto`
 
+  &gt; I assume you have no objection to this --&#91;&#91;smcv&#93;&#93;
+
 * `IkiWiki::cgiurl` uses `$local_cgiurl` if passed `local_cgiurl =&gt; 1`
 
+  &gt; Possibly changed to making this always be local unless `cgiurl =&gt; $x`
+  &gt; is given: see below --&#91;&#91;smcv&#93;&#93;
+
 * `IkiWiki::cgiurl` omits the trailing `?` if given no named parameters
   except `cgiurl` and/or `local_cgiurl`
