It's because a slash is, well, how you separate directories on a webserver.  It's possible to force a leading slash, but it's just not worth it - it makes it extremely difficult to link to from other articles, you wind up having to set up a redirect page for every single article, it's harder to search for... just not worth it.  I actually used to have them forced and I took it out because I got tired of dealing with it. --[[User:Jimbo|Jimbo]] 19:27, 27 April 2006 (EDT)
