My husband generously provides our organic compost activator, and the
compost seems to be doing fine, but he sprinkles it on neat. I have
seen quite a few references to diluting the urine first, and wondered
if anyone could tell me why that is recommended?

Because neat urine burns tissues - or, rather, the ammonia produced
by bacterial action on urine does. But, provided that the compost
heap gets rained on, or is otherwise watered on occasion, you can
leave natural processes to do the dilution :-)
