Research direction

Start by reading point 1 in the linked overview issue comment, then trace where URL normalisation is implemented in python-scraperlib. Done means consecutive URL slashes such as // are preserved rather than rewritten as a single slash; the issue names no file or test, so identify suitable coverage while investigating.
