get_absolute_url forces the object to know the URL path it is coming in on.

what might be nicer would be a get_relative_url which would return the part of the URL that the app is resposible for.

so take this URL for an example
http://www.lawrence.com/news/2005/oct/15/serenity/
I'm guessing that there is a 'news' app configured here with a 'story' table inside of it.
what would be nice is if the 'story' could return '/2005/oct/15/serenity/' and have the framework 'know' that it should be prefixing that with '/news'. It could get this information out of the URL pattern couldn't it?

regards
and thanks for writing django
