Comment(by Frumph):

 I disagree with never needing the path, for the thought of for example
 checking if a file exists before including it to be one.  I use it quite
 often with ComicPress.

 *note* I do understand it when you say it handles URI's only, my thinking
 on it is that since bloginfo handles 'basic' structure information that it
 could also include paths like the wp_upload_dir does.

 I also understand there are better functions and I get what your saying.
 With the following:

 I'm not sure this is possible but worth a thought, an addition to the
 bloginfo might be a wp_set_cache that would retain the information for the
 page load instead of calling the functions every time, but I'm not sure
 the ramifications of that since i'm not familiar with how that all works,
 sort of like a way to speed up the calls? (unknown to me), in my mind (of
 what I know about how wp_cache_set works) I would think it would help with
 processing and speeding things up.

 Which means that if the central location for information that is used
 within a theme that uses the bloginfo including the core code (that had
 all of the information present) processed it faster it would be a boone
 for all, but again i'm not really proficient in that area.
