But all subdirectories being published *is*, as you say, a nice 
feature.  True, your recursive publication of a 
directory-that-is-not-intended-for-publication is a problem, but
let's not  throw the baby out with the bath-water.  

Why couldn't there just be a default of publishing all subdirs, but 
with some variable that lists those *not* to be published?  Or, if
that's not possible then the worst case is, rather than concluding that
we shouldn't have publication of subdirectories, to conclude 
that we don't have subdirectories that aren't publishable.  

But the list-of-exceptions (i.e. all subdirs to be published unless
mentioned in the list) at least leaves the choice open.

Isn't that exactly what we have at the moment?
