Comment (by zooko):

 Great! I think "rooted path" is a good word for this. So in the WAPI, we
 currently have:

 {{{
 POST /uri/$DIRCAP?t=move&from_name=OLD&to_dir=SUBDIRNAME&target_type=name
 }}}

 {{{
 POST /uri/$DIRCAP?t=move&from_name=OLD&to_dir=NEWDIRCAP&target_type=uri
 }}}

 And the proposal is to change it to:

 {{{
 POST /uri/$DIRCAP?t=move&from_name=OLD&to_dirname=SUBDIRNAME
 }}}

 and

 {{{
 POST /uri/$DIRCAP?t=move&from_name=OLD&to=NEWROOTEDPATH
 }}}

 ?
