Considering as decoding works now in trunk version it does care for last 
slash, as I wrote in bug report #14657 empty part after last slash is 
getting mapped to spacer page in subtree and 404 error as a result.
It's still reproducible but I didn't reopen bug while we not resolved 
issue with trailing slashes as it is related problems.

But you right that decoding and encoding is separate, nevertheless I'm 
vote for url as directories by default as there are cases when url does 
make sense only as a directory (like mentioned http://site.dk/en/)
