Sebastien,

Yes, it's worth breaking from upstream.

Using the singular "Download" is inconsistent. The only singular entries are "Home Folder" and "Desktop", because they represent a singular entity.

The rest of the xdg-user-dirs folders are named Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos, which are pluralized. We should keep things consistent, i.e. change Download to Downloads, or else change the rest to Document, Music, Picture and Video. It seems pretty obvious that the latter is not appropriate.

Also, it seems that on a fresh install of Alpha 6, the Download folder is placed at the bottom of the bookmarks list in Places; all folders should be sorted alphabetically descending (with exception to Home Folder, and possibly also Desktop).

Therefore I would suggest that "Fix Released" against the xdg-user-dirs task is not accurate.
