[Radiant] And what happened to the clear page cache button?

[Sean Cribbs]

If you're using the built-in tags, like <r:url /> and <r:link />,  the 
relative path issue will be handled properly.  For those of you 
developing tag libraries, you can take advantage of the relative_url_for 
method that is in StandardTags:

relative_url_for('/mystyles/new.css', tag.globals.page.request)

used in the context of the example would produce 
'/radiant3/mystyles/new.css'.
