Now you've got me curious...  Th e documentation -
http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/EntitySyntax
says that using &dtml.url actually calls the absolute_url() method.  

Your's could be safer though, since it uses url_quote, although 
hopefully no object id's contain characters that are illegal in url's.
