[Zope-dev] easy to fix bugs present in 2.7.0a1

[Stefan H. Holek]

On a related note let me say that absolute_url() is suffering from much the 
same problem. Calling absolute_url(1) will give surprising results in the 
presence of _vh_xyz!

I have already tried to make some noise about that but failed to 
sufficiently make my point. <http://collector.zope.org/Zope/809>
