Bug Description
When an object with a a relative xlink is copied and pasted, the new object has an absolute xlink. Behavior is observed in
0.47 and 0.48. Behavior in earlier releases was not tested.
Steps to reproduce:
1) create an object
2) create a link
3) open the link properties, set the uri to "relative.svg", close the link properties
4) use xml editor to observe the xlink attribute of the object
5) copy the object and paste a new object
6) use the xml editor to observe the xlink attribute of the new object.
The SVG standard specifically allows relative links, and relative links are of great practical importance, especially for large collections of related documents.

this could be related to the changes for bug #168484 “Relative links use "\" in win32 platform” /bugs.launchpad .net/inkscape/ +bug/168484> /bugs.launchpad .net/inkscape/ +bug/170225>

which possibly lead to the regression in bug #170225 in Inkscape: “relative image paths instead of absolute”
