Sorry, I don't think I understand: "https://example.com/" stands for
"https://example.com/index.html", AFAIK. This is why %e produces an
empty string for the Top node. So why would users want to specify
"https://example.com/%e.html" instead of just "https://example.com/%e"?
IOW, I don't see why users will need to use the .html extension in the
alist, it works without the extension.
What am I missing?
