Okay, so how would you get the url for an action from inside a skin 
script or template?

Yes, I wish I didn't have to either, but work with me on this, okay?
I'm not asking you to clean up the Plone mess, I'm asking you to explain 
what pattern should be used in CMF 1.5 for something which was common in 
CMF 1.4 (I have examples of this from totally non-Plone CMF projects, 
and they face the same problems: What to replace getActionById with, 
especially when it's used in skin script?)

Just to emphasise further, I'm looking to document by way of mailing 
list archives, what the correct way to replace getActionById calls is, 
regardless of whether you're using Plone, CPS, or just plain CMF...

Also, can you explain what type_info.getActionInfo('object/view')['url'] 
is supposed to return?

cheers,

Chris
