[Zope-CMF] I can't live without DTML in Portal Document

I believe that Document (and other contents in general) should insert a
<base> tag in the <head> in some situations, but I've not yet completely
figured out the mechanism used (it's fairly intricate and not very well
documented -- see HTTPResponse::insertBase, and the call to
response.setBase in BaseRequest::traverse ...).

Your best bet in the meantime, as you mentionned, would be acquisition,
which is not that much of a hack (except that it can lead to
caching-unfriendly behaviour).
