Good thinking!
Ok, let's wrap up what we have so far (using bash-like syntax):
1. basename = "$dir"
- html: ext = ${html_extension:-"html"}
directory = $dir.$ext
topfile = ${topname:-"index"}.$ext
chapters = $id.$ext
footnotes = "footnotes".$ext
- rest: target = $dir.${${format}_extension:-${format}_default}
2. basename = "$dir/$prefix"
- html: ext = ${html_extension:-"html"}
directory = $dir.$ext
topfile = $prefix-${topname:-"index"}.$ext
chapters = $prefix-$id.$ext
footnotes = $prefix-"footnotes".$ext
- rest: target = $dir.${${format}_extension:-${format}_default}
Note that in the first case the trailing slash is not needed: For html
we already know it indicates a directory.

I completely agree! :-)
