I believe that it is just a matter of personal preference: some people like to always have a slash appended (or never appended) for consistency. I prefer to append a slash when the page is some kind of category, but leave it out when it is a "leaf node". (I noticed that this is what the W3C website does.) > Are there any performance or security reasons to use the trailing slash in > Django?

I do not know about performance, but I doubt there is a security issue, otherwise it would not have made sense to make the APPEND_SLASH setting behave the way it does, i.e., a slash is not appended if the initial URL (without a trailing slash) can be found in the URLconf.
