We haven't decided what should become of r->uri in a relative file lookup 
yet, have we?  I'd suggest the undecorated (relative) file name itself, 
e.g. "file.foo".  Clearly invalid (it's relative) yet protective (it hits 
all tests except <location >, and other applications interested in r->uri 
won't be overly confused).

We can set an apr_pool_userdata element to flag that it is a legitimate
exception, and filter those out again later in the request parsing.
