That sounds (to me) like a compelling reason to do it that way - and I 
just succeeded (with a brand new domain name bought just so I can play 
around without risking existing users).

You may not care, but afaict the current on-rev client is unable to 
access such root-based add-on domains - it only sees public_html and 
sub-folders within that.  A great pity, I've already found the client's 
ability to help with debugging of irev scripts to be tremenduously 
helpful ....
