I can't use absolute URLs because I can't make any assumptions about the server environment this will run on. The server will likely vary and even the context name may change. Also, using an old-fashioned relative URL doesn't work for me either since my app is broken up into packages. So I may have page URLs that look like /MyApp/Section/Page1 or /MyApp/MainMenu.
