In my current fortress caravans are leaving through the caravans.  Is this normal?  They come in above ground like normal, and there is no impediment to them leaving that way.

They just do that sometimes. It might be because the caverns are the fastest way off the map in some cases, I'm not sure. I didn't mention it in Reveredtour, but the humans left through the caverns. Elves and dwarves didn't though, so who knows what is up with that.

My traders actually most often spawn in the caverns and just walk up a hundred z-levels to the trade depot, then walk down again.

There MUST be a civilized batman city down there. At least one.

Put doors at the cavern entries and lock them before the caravan leaves if it annoys you.

One time I had a human diplomat arrive. I was going to kill him to get some sieges so I stationed my dwarfs outside the main entrance but he left through the caverns 

Possibly because the mayors room was only 2 z's above the cavern whereas the trade depot is only 1z below the surface.

I've had them leave through the caverns also. Probably because Illithids, demons and snakemen were beating down our doors and the cavern was the only way off the map.

I assume they spend their time fighting the clowns.

I never noticed this, till one day i spot a hauler on a deep stair carrying a dead muskox.  They made it 1-tile into the cavern before getting whacked by a blind cave ogre, leaving easily collectable loot.  I need to somehow make this a feature.
