Well, almost... In Plone, we have type actions with a '/' inside,
such as string:portal_form/edit_form" to handle form validation and
navigation. I seem to remember Alan saying he wanted to get rid of
that in a future release, but I'm not sure.

The kludge I'm using right now is the opposite solution. I keep the
relative URLs in action strings, but I prepend "$object_url/" when
type actions are used by portal_types to list actions.
