Comment(by nacin):

 I got that. I'm not arguing that the names between the functions and the
 bloginfo arguments are inconsistent. I agree. It *can* be confusing.

 The reasoning for it is this. bloginfo() is a template tag, primarily used
 in themes. Theme developers will never need the path; they always want the
 URI. Thus why stylesheet_directory returns the publicly consumed URI
 instead of the path. If I had to guess, these were around for longer than
 the corresponding functions, which are named better for sure.

 My point is, we're not changing the functionality of them, and there
 already exist more functions (with better names) that cover the
 functionality.
