If I enter 'http://drupal.org' as my link URL, all works fine.

If I enter 'drupal.org' then I get a relative link which obviously is broken.

Guess which sort of link users are most likely to type in.

The formatter for this field needs to do the same sort of work as link.module's link_cleanup_url() function -- or simpler, just depend on link module.

Subscribing, having the same.
EDIT: I think that my problem was different. If my relative url started with a slash, "/node/NID", than it didn't work. Removing the slash made it work again!
