Again, how is that the case?  What text makes that clear?  If it's in
the bind spec, that's not a standard yet and I don't agree with that 
"clarification".

For that matter, a 'parent-path' property would be useful too.  It 
would be a context-sensitive property like 'last-path-segment', but 
there are many potential context-sensitive live properties.  
'getcontentlength' is one of those - a dynamic resource may well 
behave differently depending on what URL is used to access it.
