That is demonstrably not true given that IMP _does_ work properly with
pretty much everything except these MIX folders. Maybe not 100% to spec but
I don't see how we are violating the spec - we're just not taking advantage
of it.

And it's fine for you, in this case, to say that we should follow the spec
and damn anything that doesn't - but in a sense that's what we're doing!
You're saying we should compensate for the fact that your server returns
multiple folders with the same name.
