Hmm, I tried that.  It worked in that it suppressed the BASE tag, but
failed in that it basically broke the entire site.  Apparently, Zope
does not issue a redirect for:

  http://some.site/foo/Folder

to:

  http://some.site/foo/Folder/

<rant>

It really, really, really should redirect that.  It is really silly to 
have to put in a Base tag, and that makes it extremely difficult to do 
some things like mirroring or virtual hosting.
