absolute paths in XML storage
Status: Pre-Alpha

When a tree is written to XML storage, and the tree has paths that are
absolute in form, but refer into the tree, they should be written out as
relative, but with a flag to absolutify them on read in.
Absolute paths that are actually tree relative can occur in three
places: prototype links, path objects and links.
Prototype links are always absolute (as of 2005-06-03), as so don't
need the flag, but should just be treated as if it were true.
Proposals for how to write this flag are:
<path ref="../../ball" fixup="true" />
<path ref="../../ball" style="abs" />
<path abs="../../ball" />
<path from-relative="../../ball" />
