I remember we added getting file URLs for directories as resources
because Nice depended on that being possible. (Indicating that the Mauve
test and/or the "spec" is wrong here.) It doesn't really make sense to
return it as resource since it is unclear what to return as content. If
I remember correctly some people wanted to return some
HTML-representation of the directory...

Daniel, can you remember the discussion? And does Nice still depend on
this?

Cheers,

Mark
