As the todo-mode.el maintainer, sorry for not responding sooner.  I
guess it's reasonable to leave point where the previously not-done item
was when the done items section is hidden.  I take it you have no
objection to the current behavior of point moving to the item just set
to done when the done items section is visible, since your patch doesn't
alter that.  If so, then I'll install your patch as is (but with a more
appropriate commit message and ChangeLog entry).  Before I do that, have
you submitted a copyright assignment for Emacs?  If not, I'll install it
as a tiny change.  Thanks for the patch.

Steve Berman
