The 'next' URL literally has to contain the substring '[id]', so you would
probably need to do:
next=URL('b') + '/[id]'
There is a newer feature that allows you to replace any of the form vars in
the URL via Python string formatting notation:
next=URL('b') + '/%(id)s'
Note, I don't think you can specify the latter part of the URL as the
'args' argument to URL() because the special characters will end up getting
escaped.
