There is a related problem end the tool to which I think you tacitly refer, in that it strips off trailing slashes when these occur in (I forget which) templates or library items, which means that our pages (by which I mean Royal Holloway's) now use URLs of the form http://a.domain/path/# where we would prefer to write simply http://a.domain/path/ If we write the latter, then the final version in the page gets re-written as http://a.domain/path which we wish to avoid at all costs.
