Yeah, I e-mailed Matt with a similar scheme a few days ago.  I've been 
testing it and it works great.  The only problem right now is that 
pathinfo appears to be broken for feeds.  
site.com/wordpress/index.php/feed/atom/ won't work using latest CVS, it 
just returns the blog's home page.  The same thing can be seen on 
Craig's site ( http://blog.nuclearmoose.com/feed/rss2/ ).

Upsides of this method: no need to update rules with new WordPress 
version of URI scheme.  Simplification of all the mod_rewrite rule 
creation code.
