The single "/" mapping is often a special case mapping that's handled
differently than other directory mappings. I believe that's the case
in JWS, or else they are not following the recommendations in the 2.1
spec. I haven't tested but I believe a mapping like "/foo" will have
precedence over a file name extension mapping even in JWS.
But obviously this needs to be clarified and I'm sure James will do
so when he gets a chance.
