[Zope] folder url should end in /

Hi!

If there's no head, it is no valid HTML, which is ... not so good ...

The base href is quite useful for Zope being able to handle relative URLs
correctly, so I'd try to use it.

It is definitely no bug. And if you let Zope set its base href, the problem
will not occur anyway. Correct HTTP would always be to use the trailing
slash. Most servers will accept the URL without the slash and try to find a
folder with that name, but that takes extra time.
