Summary0000653: incomplete definition of basename
DescriptionThe definition of basename in XBD 3.40 is incomplete, as it does
not take account of pathnames consisting of all slashes. This is
because such pathnames do not contain any filenames (according to
the definition of filename).

The suggested change below matches the behaviour of basename()
described in 0000612.
Desired ActionChange:

    The final, or only, filename in a pathname.

to:

    For pathnames containing at least one filename: the final, or
    only, filename in the pathname. For pathnames consisting only of
    <slash> characters, the basename of the pathname is '/' if the
    pathname does not contain exactly two <slash> characters and is
    either '/' or "//" if the pathname contains exactly two <slash>
    characters.

I'd suggest wording it this way:

    For pathnames containing at least one filename: the final, or
    only, filename in the pathname. For pathnames consisting only of
    <slash> characters: either "/" or "//" if the pathname consists of
    exactly two <slash> characters, and "/" otherwise.
