Yes, the problem comes from <html:link>. It is not a bug: Tiles
definitions name are logical names, not URLs. <html:link> require a real
URL to work because its result is interpreted on the server side.
The tag is processed on the server side but the actual result is an URL
which get sent back to the client within the HTML. That leads me to
think that the tag can generate a 'normal' URL from a symbolic name
perfectly well.
