I'm glad that you are not afraid of breaking compatibility.
It is unreliable to parse user-dirs.dirs because it is a shell program! You should rely on the proper API instead, which means using the output of the xdg-user-dir executable. Compare with http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Attachment/674244/346764/0001-support-for-more-xdg-spe cs.patch [cpan.org].
