Re: Standard URI scheme

Hi!

Congratulations for Wyona/Lenya moving now to Apache!

Normally I'm just reading this list and enjoy every progress that is taking 
place.

It is very appreciated to have a standard URI scheme for common tasks. This 
makes sub sitemaps much smaller and easier to maintain.

But the main reason, why I'm writing here is, that I had some troubles with 
Wyona (for some time ago) which were caused by an assumption which was not 
met by my machine:
If you refactor the URIs please take care, that Lenya can be deployed with a 
WAR file which has an other name (e.g. lenya-2003-03-06.war) than the 
standard name (wyona-cms.war) to be able to experiment with different 
versions.
Until now the problem was, that many URLs were absolute (e.g. /wyona-cms/...) 
in the HTML source code and therefore didn't work. An example therefore was 
menu.css, which resulted in a cocoon exception and therefore produced a 
totally messy and unusable menu.

It would be nice, if Lenya its publications could be made totally location 
independent.

Thanks for your work,
