Relative URLs. So if you have an app running off index.html in your widget
root, you can XHR to "partials/template_one.html" and get the right local
content.

Interesting side note on this, again, related to reality and not to what
looks best spec-wise, that using the File API is *way* faster on a
majority of platforms than making XHRs. I agree that XHR'ing is more of a
"web" approach, though...
