It is possible to create a field validator that will make an exception
from the minimal length if the string is empty. And by "make an
exception", I don't mean "throwing one".
When this code was written, it did not include an internal URL mapper
and each page was loaded by a PHP script. The internal URL was a recent,
mostly unfinished addition.
Base URL is now supported:
* for views, when they implement the BaseURLAware interface (a base
class that does what most views will do with that is provided -
BaseURLAwareView),
* in the menu,
* in form actions,
* in boxes (for buttons, and for the contents if the inner view
implements BaseURLAware).
