Actually we have discussed that.  They're both easy to implement.

You have full access to the standard tree methods via

ko.places.viewMgr.view: nsITreeView

document.getElementById("places-files-tree").treeBoxObject: nsITreeBoxObject

So you can put them together like so:

var index = ko.places.viewMgr.view.getRowIndexForURI(url);
document.getElementById("places-files-tree").treeBoxObject.ensureRowIsVisible(index);

Note that I'm planning a refactoring of the Places API.  At some point
ko.places.viewMgr and ko.places.manager will be merged
into one ko.places.manager API.  I'll leave 'viewMgr' as a deprecated
alias for 'manager', so any code you ship will still work.

We do have plans there.

Thanks again,
