[Zope] absolute_url in 2.1; clarification required

Yes, there was a thread on the list sometime ago about the long URLs 
for images, bearing upon this item. It was then marked by DC as a bug 
which would be fixed in 2.1

see the thread called 

 Acquisition isn't always bandwidth and browser-cache friendly  
advice needed

in the Zope November archives

and specifically for a confirmation of the bugfix
