As I have read on this list time and again, the absolute_url() is a far better choice than relative urls.
What do relative URLs have over the absolute_url() that makes a lot of people keep using it especially if you are not importing a site created by some other software?? I some cases, one needs relative URLs (when you play with acquisition) because "absolute_url" destroys the acquisition context.
A prominent example is a multi-lingual Web site of my former employer. He used common content (localized via translation catalogs) that were accessed via a language folders: CommonContent/ DE/ EN/ FR/ The language folders defined properties that controlled the translation catalogs. URL's had the form LANGUAGE/CommonContent/... Of couse, "absolute_url" would remove the language context... Dieter
