Right. Though you can of course list everything.

Actually, if you try it, it's often not meaningful for another, more
mundane, reason too. The bottom requests are often ones where there was an
error in the request, but the web server managed to serve _something_ 
anyway. Analog tries to filter most of these out with its built in aliases
(e.g. /dir//file -> /dir/file) but it can't guess everything the web server
might do.
