Bear in mind that most of those are Reported and not Verified, so they 
should be treated as non-authoritative comments.

For example, the suggested amendment for parsing too many .. path 
components seems incorrect and the original is more correct.  (Unmatched 
.. components should not be left in a canonical URL.)
