Ok, need to say somewhere why we believe this would be the case, |
211 |

and refer to that somehow from the abstract. |

Ok, need to explain what the equivalents are in our system (a group of |
220 |
|
items related to the same other item through the same property) |
221 |
|
and explain how they're superior to directories (they're semantic, |
222 |
|
they're non-hierarchical, they can "contain" any item, not just files, |
223 |
|
they're not "stored on one disk," you don't have to place items |
224 |
|
in a particular such aggregate... and this is simply much more |
225 |

general, doing many things that you'd never dream of doing with files). |

Need to address that. |

Need to think about this a bit. The question is: Could we use files |
250 |
|
for the bodies of documents and e-mails, but relate them not through |
251 |
|
directories, but a network of items? Perhaps we could. Not saying |
252 |
|
that we want to, but if we could, we should say so and explain |
253 |
|
why we particularly chose not to. |

as many as you need; more isn't better. |
