So why change it in Zope 2.4?:) This change had me
totally confused for a while.. It seems that in 2.4
the publisher will put a <base href> in the header 
when one accesses a folder object, unless it's 
already there.

I just ran one of my pages trough the
validator.w3.org, and it complained that 

	<base href="something" />
                              ^^^
wasn't valid. I search trough all my files for where
it could be putting in this extra '/', and
eventually grep'ed trough the zope-source for it to
find it in the publisher.  Very confusing..
		   
This should be documented in the 2.4 migration
guide.

BTW: why end the base href with '/>', and not 
simply '>'?
