Except that the name "cleanedPath" would make one think that this method
returns a path.... not a url.

I don't really see the problem with having to call cleanPath on a separate 
line. It's a rather expensive method, too, so "I have to call it everywhere" 
sounds a bit wrong anyway ;)
Plus, you can always make a wrapper function...
