That's interesting...what would you recommend for generating the correct
URL for a particular resource? This is how I'm using it (stub returns an
HTML fragment used in a view):

  css = getResource(self.context, 'menu.css', self.request)
  return '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="%s" />' % css()

I stole this pattern from other views, which would seem to make it a
public API, maybe not though.
