That was also my recalling.  Normally there should only be an up link to
the (dir) node generated in the Top node.  And it seems to me that it is
not new.

Indeed, this is rather unclear.  In fact, if TOP_NODE_UP_URL is not set,
there is a link to the (dir) node, because of TOP_NODE_UP, and the link
to the (dir) node is transformed to an url according to the 'HTML Cross
References' specification.
