Oliver - I think you're right, this was a mistake. It was the result of https://github.com/jonswar/perl-mason/issues/8
I'm not sure what the right behavior should be. For the sake of good SEO, you generally want canonical urls and it's suboptimal to allow /foo/bar and /foo/bar/ to map to the exact same thing. One of them should redirect to the other. In the old Apache world, /foo/bar would redirect to /foo/bar/, but these days it is much more common to have urls without trailing slashes. Feedback welcome. I agree, though, the current situation is very un-DWIM-ish.
