 * CGI pages, with the exception of edit pages, set `<base>` to
   `$config{url}`
 
-I had to revert using `baseurl(undef)` for that, because it needs
-to be a full url.

-Ideally, baseurl would return an absolute url derived from the url
-being used to access the cgi, but that needs access to the CGI object,
-which it does not currently have. Similarly, `misctemplate`
-does not have access to the CGI object, so it cannot use it to
-generate a better baseurl. Not sure yet what to do; may have to thread
-a cgi parameter through all the calls to misctemplate. --[[Joey]]

+  permalinks are made to be absolute urls now.

+  Fixing this would seem to involve making meta force permalinks
+  to absolute urls when fulling out templates, while allowing them
+  to be left as partial urls internally, for use by goto. --[[Joey]]
