I don't see why you couldn't use relative paths for things
like CSS files and design element images with PmWiki. You
would only have to be careful to create your local template
file in a directory structure relative to the /pub
directory, i.e., locally, your template file would have to
be in the same place that pmwiki.php would be on the server.
You wouldn't be to use $ScriptUrl, but with the new
templating system that's just a shortcut. You couldn't use
$PageLogoUrlFmt but you could easily replicate it.
