I think a computed absolute URL is fine.  It is hard-coded absolute
URLs that are likely to cause headaches.  Zope2 always puts an
absolute URL in generated pages, which is why the virtual hosting
traversal hook is needed so that the correct base URL is computed.

Thank you for figuring out how to make this work!  I have a site with
a skin that I couldn't manage to publish behind apache (using
proxypass) because it had trouble combining the virtual host and the
skin in the URL.  Now I'll have to go back and review everything and
see if this works forme :-).
