Thank you for your answer Sean. Well understood.
However, I think that if not fix this issue, at least we should supply
guidelines on the matter.

For example tempest's "test_delete_security_group_without_passing_id" test
actually checks this behavior by addressing a security group with an "empty
id" (/v2.1/{tenant_id}/os-security-groups/), and expects nova to return
404. The comment on the code says:
# Negative test:Deletion of a Security Group with out passing ID should
Fail

If we'll release guidelines on the matter, and the right way to use the
API, and that the trailing slashes issue is just a known bug as you say,
this test is rendered useless.

What do you think?
