The topic_listing view should list all the topics (keywords) used by a blog. The links generated lack the "topic" infix, i.e. are broken.

Steps to reproduce:: - Create a blog, publish a post with a a keyword set.
- Click the tag cloud portlet's heading or append @@topic_listing to the blog's URL. The topic listing will appear.
- click a topic

This turns out to be a nasty one. The 'topic_listing' view silently assumes to be in the virtual 'topics' container of the weblog. It renders URLs relative to it's context. Normally this is something like 'http://nohost/plone/weblog/topics/aTopic'. When this view is applied to a weblog -- which is perfectly legal as a weblog is a ITopicContainer -- the view will break.

This ill behavior applies to the author and archive view as well. With the latter this is not apparent as it has no traversal prefix set.

I think the most sensible solution would be to ask the absolute URL from the topic. There is no such method defined, though.
