+Problem with [[plugins/map]]:
+
+# Observed behavior:
+
+## given map:
+
+\[[map pages="blog/tags/*"]]
+
+## received map:
+
+<div class="map">
+<ul>

+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+
+Note that you get "blog" and "tags", and they're both links, but "life" and "tech" are not links.
+
+# desired output:
+
+<div class="map">
+<ul>
+<li><a href="../tags/life/" class="mapitem">life</a>
+</li>
+<li><a href="../tags/tech/" class="mapitem">tech</a>

+</div>
+
+Note that you you don't get "blog" or "tags", and "life" and "tech" are links now.

+(Disclaimer: I don't know ikiwiki internals.)
+
+Map tries to calculate a "common prefix" between the pagespec and the page being rendered, and then later does some substitutions using the prefix.  But the path has /'s in it and the common prefix doesn't, so it never matches correctly.  So, add the /'s.
