Yes, but why doesn't a path inside the default directory start with the directory itself? Or does this mean the current normalized form is still not the most normalized one?

Another thing I see is that "..".relativize("x") is "../x", while actually it should be "pwd/x". Of course we don't know what "pwd" is, but why not throw an exception?
