For an example from the other direction, http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/ misc/Tim and http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/misc/Tim/ do not identify the same resource (in fact, there is no resource corresponding to the latter). This breaks poorly-written web robots that foolishly assume that they can append "/" to URIs where the last path component doesn't have a "." -Tim
