Out of curiosity, why do you think a leading slash is a good thing?
My feeling, so far, is that it's an unnecessary extra character.  I
guess I also don't tend to think about tag and namespaces paths in
terms of UNIX filesystems.  I can see the relation, of course, but
I don't think we should be constrained by UNIX conventions.

Thanks,
J.
