I know what Dave wants, but ht_root does not seen to be my preferred
name either ...

doc_root reminds me very much of the Apache directive DocumentRoot ...
which is something different than Dave wants to achieve,

We need to find some names (without too many conflicts to common
practice) that maps an URL like
  http://some.host/sub/dir/sid/foo.html
and the corresponding file system path
  /srv/piuparts/blah/htdocs/sid/foo.html
to some common variable names like:

  $SERVER_PART$DIR_PART$FILE_PART
  $OUTPUT_DIR/$FILE_PART
with
  SERVER_PART=http://some.host          http://piuparts.debian.org
  DIR_PART=/sub/dir/                    /
  FILE_PART=sid/foo.html
  OUTPUT_DIR=/srv/piuparts/blah/htdocs  /org/piuparts.debian.org/htdocs

What's the common meaning of URLBASE? SERVER+DIR? Only DIR? Something else?
