I would stay away from duplicating what mod_rewrite does in translate_name for
internal redirects (aka PT or PassThrough).

See my email on the dev@ list with respect to mod_dav_svn and mod_rewrite for
an example of the problems here.  The current behavior of mod_rewrite assumes
that the core hook always updates the r->uri to the r->filename, but if some
other module needs to prevent the core hook from running and can be configured
per directory this creates a conflict between the two modules and you can use
one or the other but not both.  In the case of mod_rewrite and mod_dav_svn, it
means you can't use the PT flag to redirect out of a path that mod_dav_svn
thinks it is serving.
