[Zope] How to kill that BASE HREF

If you are sure that you can get along without the BASE HREF in a virtually hosted (or other) Zope page, there is a way to fool the ZPublisher so it doesn't include the obnoxious tag. Just put <base dummy=dummy> near the top of your method. This turns out to be enough to fool the fairly droidal scanning code into thinking that no additional BASE tag is needed. Since it's an unknown attribute it should be a total no-op in browsers. Of course they could write a smarter parser in a future release so caveat Zopor, but it works for now. I wish they hadn't relied on that tag to begin with.
