How to reference href's from the root of the web site
When we define "relative href's", maven (or the engine it uses) assumes
that / is relative to the root of the "project site"
Example
<menu name="Menu">
<item name="Use It!" href="/use-it.html"/>
</menu>
When HTML is generated in the link, the HTML generated is
<a href="use-it.html">Use It!</a>
What if we wanted to reference the root of the web site, how can we
reference it without giving in the href the full URL of the site.

Well, follow the well known FS path/URL conventions:
<schema>:<whatever> is absolute
/<whatever> is absolute
<whatever> is relative to current dir
./<whatever> is relative to current dir
../<whatever> is relative to parent dir
etc
I sent patches to make xdoc plugin work this way, but these where
rolled back because there are some projects that depend on
/absolute//<whatever> syntax.
