Nice one, Centurion. Like it. :-) There is a difference, though: this 
produces a URL that includes the http://host/, whereas the others only 
produce a /path URL. Personally I prefer just the /path, but I can't 
think of a technical reason why just at the moment. :-/ Anyone? Bueller?

Now that you've mentioned it, the book has several mentions of 
context/++resource++RESOURCENAME, but none of context/@@/RESOURCENAME. I 
tried playing with this a while back, but I think I was trying too hard 
with "string:" and "${" etc.

Curiously enough, "context/@@/z3logo.gif" and 
"context/++resource++z3logo.gif" each produce the same href string: 
"http://wu/imdb/@@/z3logo.gif" or 
"http://chmeee:8080/++skin++imdb/@@/z3logo.gif", depending on which way 
you're coming from. (A quick look at 
zope.app.publisher.browser.resource.Resource ... ah.)

I've quickly browsed through various classes: when I figure out how 
namespace.namespaceLookup works, I'll get it. :-)
