It's used by W3, I'd like to see this function restored if > possible. It was renamed to url-file-directory. I checked in a change aliasing url-basepath to url-file-directory, so it should work now. W3 should use the new name, and set up an alias to the old name if necessary. That way, we can delete this alias in a couple of years. And the alias should have a comment reminding us to do this.
