The URI BNF allows for empty path segments, so a doubled slash has its own distinct meaning. And since "the designated mount point" is so designated by the URI, I would think one should leave doubled slashes in. IMO this certainly applies to PATH_INFO, although I could understand someone writing a server that normalized SCRIPT_NAME (and telling its users it was limited in that way).
