> Is the idea just to use url-retrieve directly?

I think so, yes.

> This is probably rather naive of me, but I guess now I'm wondering why url-retrieve-synchronously actually sets url-asynchronous to nil.  Is there a good reason not to use :nowait when it is available?  It seems like it would be useful to have a wrapper around url-retrieve that just "does what I mean" here.

Maybe.  I wonder what others think about this.
