It's not so bad when a server adds a trailing slash when someone types a

server could certainly look at the HTTP referrer on-the-fly and decide how
lenient to be based on the origin of the URL.

Oh goody, the xoom factor...

What does Xoom do?


What is really needed is a protocol to inform the owner of the referring
page that they have a bad link.

That would be awesome!!!
