I think my approach of building the directory listings from the
responses provided by the rdiff-backup API is a fine way to do that.
Each command has some latency involved, but it should be adequate.
So my original questions stands - what do the rdiff-backup developers
think about the API, is it likely to remain relatively stable? What
about the recursive option I asked about, is such a patch likely to be
accepted?

Not answering your direct question (because I can't), but if you want to
recover individual files the best I have found is Josh's rdiffWeb
http://www.rdiffweb.org/. As the name implies it uses a web interface
and although the initial configuration can be a bit tricky, once set up
it works well and makes retrieving individual files, including versions
from the past, a snap.
