What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. have a hyperlink like <a href="www.website.com">Website</a> forgetting the 
http in a page in the ePub..
2. FlightCrew will report it as a resource in OEBPS/Text/www.website.com 
reachable but not present in OPF.
3. adding the http part in the link in epub will give no problems found

Actually FlightCrew is correct here. If you reference a website without the 
"http://" part, you're referencing a local file. In your example, you're 
referencing a file called "www.website.com" in the folder of the XHTML file. 
That file could realistically exist. Since it doesn't, FC reports an error.

The fact that it is a malformed hyperlink is altogether irrelevant. "bit.ly" 
would be a malformed link, but that's another file that could actually exist. 
Bottom line, there is no way in which FC could know that what you're 
referencing is not a local file but is a malformed link, since without the 
scheme you have a relative URL. It can only report it as a missing file, since 
that's what the specs say that a relative URL is supposed to be interpreted as.

Ah ok. Then its a bit hard to differentiate between a actual file present in 
the ePub but not linked to the content (fe an unused image) and a link in the 
content to a file that is not present in the ePUB. (If you know what I mean)
Thankf for the clarification.
