[Zope-dev] Zope 2.7.0 b3 regressions

[Stefan H. Holek]

After reading this paragraph for the third time I realized you have a 
very good point here.

But

<quote by="Evan Simpson">
"Relative" in this context refers to the concept of a "relative path" 
as used in rfc1808, not to a relationship with a Zope object.  It is 
meant for use in situations such as redirection to a secure page from 
an insecure one (eg. 'https://example.com' + target.absolute_url(1)) 
where you would otherwise have to generate the complete URL and then 
break it apart.

So, what do we want "relative" to mean for absolute_url?
