A lot of sites seem to be using icons to differentiate between internal and
external links.

It would be nice if we could specify that hyperlinks within the same domain
name have one colour, and hyperlinks that are not in the same domain name do
not.
This would probably get more complicated, and a list specifying "internal"
domains might be needed, e.g. if microsoft.com linked to microsoft.co.uk,
this might need to be an internal link.
