> how is /path/to/./foo/bar/ any less a "specification" of . than of ./foo ?

Because the first /./ is spec'ed to be a separator for the out-of-tree dirs
from the in-tree dirs.  If it had additional meaning of adding '.' to the path,
it would make that mandatory, which is bad.  Remember, choice is good.
