Sorry, I thought I was echoing your thoughts from the email thread
<http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=462&dsMessageId=1010183>, but it looks like I misunderstood. I've changed the TODO item to say:

 * Review the new "svn_dirent/svn_uri" API and ensure we aren't putting
   functions into the public name space that we won't want to support.
   See
<http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=462&dsMessageId=1010183>.

Is that OK?
