But a quick question: how is pure text being served in a way that my browser doesn't consider it html to all be munged together?

I'm not sufficiently experienced to understand how to accomplish that without either a <pre> in an index.html, or self-hosting to add whatever to .htaccess in order to have an index.txt served.

Oh, wow, that's beautiful! I'm loving the relative URL approach, although of course that excludes people unfamiliar with the concept. But then I'm fully in favor people essentially excluding themselves by not raising their game.

I simply copied your top level URL and gave it to elinks. When I wanted to drill down, I 'g' (goto url), pasted what was still in the copy buffer, and tacked on whatever relative path that sounded interesting. And those relative paths being short, curiosity had this here cat visiting all of them. So I think you may have invented a rather coy way to garner more reads. :-)
