We need a (secondary) resource that translates the Lugnet
relative URI's to (more) meaningful text.

This was my original argument for include.  However, Todd already has a
mechanism to figure this out on the fly.

Aren't "/market/" and "/" implied when you write
"/market/auction/"?

Not necessarily.  There are situations where you don't want to assume
association with all parent directories.

For example, we don't necessarily want /off-topic/clone-brands/ to be
associated with /.  This is also an issue with the loc groups.  We want
/loc/us/ma/bos/ to be associated with /loc/us/ma/, but not necessarily
anything else up the chain.  (1)  It's a little bit of work for a lot of
flexability.  But a lot of that extra work can be alleviated by using
include.

(...) Off-the-wall question -- haven't thought about this -- just tossing it out: Would an 'exclude' also be useful in addition to 'include'? (Both are relatively easy to implement.) --Todd (25 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
