Which makes me wonder; why does Zope do this in the first place?  Why isn't 
its default behavior to only create relative URLs that won't have the 
hostname and port in them?  Why does it, by default, insert the BASE tag with 
a hostname and port number into documents?

I don't remember ever having this behavior when writing web apps with Tomcat 
or Apache.  For sure, this makes it harder for Zope-generated content to be 
modular and integrated into a site (and hence all the never-ending questions 
about mod-rewrite, VHM, etc.)  I've currently got it all working, but because 
of Zope, I have to relearn them every year or two...
