I fail to see why this would be confusing, especially in your example, as the
existance of '..'-style paths would show me *immediately* hat the output
cannot be relative to the wd's root.
Neither would I expect 'ls' to output everything relative to '/'.
Besides this, relative output would be especially usefull in cases where it is
re-used by other commands, e.g. in the shell completion system.
