reledit: stuff the value into its own div and properly hide it when necessary (but dont lump it with the landingzone div for it switches the form on when one clicks on a value to traverse it)

"""associate url's path to view identifier / rql queries

It currently handle url's path with the forms

* <publishing_method>

* minimal REST publishing:
  * <eid>
  * <etype>[/<attribute name>/<attribute value>]*

* folder navigation


You can actually control URL (more exactly path) resolution using URL path
evaluator.

XXX actionpath and folderpath execute a query whose results is lost
because of redirecting instead of direct traversal
