Description
Given that external links leak the referring URL, should this be implemented in the core? It would be a way to show we take user privacy seriously.

Actually, it *would* be easier to do this in core -- elgg_normalize_url could be responsible for it.

Sounds like websites need to be able to tell browsers not to send the referer header!
This is the kind of thing that could be implemented as a plugin -- is there something defficient about going that route?
