That restriction is so that the generated relative URLs work 
correctly.  In order to relax that restriction, you'll need to change 
the generated URLs in the index, if a trailing / wasn't used.  I just 
punted on that case to keep it simple, but feel free to patch it if 
you like (trunk and branch, of course).
