The key is - as Michi pointed out - a facility to map unique, constant
IDs to documents. Unless we have that, we'd have to add a job-moving
functionality to the scheduler, which is IMO overkill. Re-writing the
URLs in jobs.xml directly violates the job store encapsulation.
I'm -1 to change the current behaviour in 1.2 (unless someone wants to
extend the scheduler), maybe we can add a message like

   "Please check the subtree for scheduled jobs as they will get
    lost after moving."
