The URLs do not need to have any meaning. Only x/y.format is fixed for all services, even the zoom levels (TileSet) can be L01, 1, 01, 1:100000, etc. 

From the spec:

[...]Note that while the URLs used to access resources may appear to have internal meaning (the resource for version 1.0.0 of the service has "1.0.0" in it's URL) such structure is not required of them.

The only requirement is that the resource be referenced by a URL (http://tms.osgeo.org/1.0.0/ could be http://tms.osgeo.org/onepointzeropointzero or http://tms.osgeo.org/flipper.xml as long as the value appeared in the href of the <TileMapService> element).
[...]


Regards,
Oliver
