I would welcome a cleaner handling of this, but as structured we just
don't have enough information to generate a proper relpath from the
URL that Ev1 senders give us.

Agreed, though I think the changes required to support such a paradigm

somewhat beyond the scope of what I'm trying to do *right now*). If
somebody wants to jump in and tackle them, I'd be much obliged.
