Well, the problem is determining what the heck is "correct". :-)

Which is why you need a whole bunch of methods. absolute_url seems confused
on which of those it is, and the whole idea that you call a method called
absolute_url with a parameter called relative is just beyond bizarre. :-)

No. That's the right solution. And not one, but a whole bunch. :-)
But I don't mind "fixing" absolute_url too. I just think it's not properly
defined what it should return, and hence it should be deprecated and
replaced with something else, that doesn't have this problem.
