I would not like to argue with you on this ;-) But how do you test for this???

<span tal:replace="container">test</span> gives <Folder Instance at###>

<span tal:replace="container/absolute_url">test</span> gives the url 
to the object the template is applied to...

What should I do to get a vh-enabled url to the container of my template???
