Since HTML is all about hyperlinks, it makes sense to give them
special treatment, especially if you're trying to encourage people to
always use URL generation rather than literal URLs for internal links,
as Pylons does.
Stick a py:with="u=request.route_url" at the top of you template if you
want brevity?
My standard pattern is to expose a 'tools' object to templates which has
a number of functions such as route_url, model_url, etc. for use in
templates. I've never felt that having to spell <a
href="${tools.route_url('personal+settings')}">..</a> is too long or
awkward.
Relatedly: there are two completely different ways to generate a URL:
model based and route based. Your suggestion to use 'url' or 'u' would
imply a document preference for one of the two, which I do not feel is
warranted. As Chris said earlier in this thread both are just as useful
and important.
