This reads to me as though automatically displaying links _without_ a

like it applies to relative links pointing to a resource on the same domain
with the same protocol.
I don't think so, though the wording is ambiguous. I take it to refer toboth explicit and implicit schemes, but to allow automatic fetching offile: links, about: links, and others that don't involve the Internet.
