Those aren't absolute paths, they're template URIs. There was a short
period when that was considered desirable, and it was the normal
syntax in Pylons, which may have inherited it from TurboGears. That
was the era when Mako was written. So the problem is the word
"absolute", and the solution is not to use slash-paths with a search
path, especially if it's likely to be misinterpreted as an absolute
path.  The docs can mention this for clarity.
