Troy,
	thank you for your answer!

I don't understand all of your comments, but let's see :)
Let's use the Strongs dict as example:
	[StrongsHebrew]
	DataPath=./modules/lexdict/rawld/strongs/hebrew
	
	[StrongsGreek]
	DataPath=./modules/lexdict/rawld/strongs/greek

They have both the same base directory. The content of this dir is:
	strongs/STRONGS.DOC
	strongs/greek.dat
	strongs/greek.idx
	strongs/hebrew.dat
	strongs/hebrew.idx
	strongs/strongs.conf
So there are no subdirectories, which are already created (as you wrote 
above).
If StrongsHebrew wants to add an image, <img src="/img_hebrew_1.png"> should 
ould refer to rawld/strongs/img_hebrew_1.png, right? If the module author 
likes subdirectories, he should create a subdir of strongs/ like hebrew_img/ 
and then use <img src="/hebrew_img/image1.png">.

This is the way which would (IMHO) not confuse module authors, because / 
refers everytime to the same, i.e. the top of the datadirectory.

Is this all reasonable? I hope :)
