I understood there were some types listed (folders, images and files, right?),
and that these exist to mimic operating system filesystems. But it's a somewhat
fuzzy concept, isn't it? I mean, images aren't really necessary to do this.
And if we have images, why not something like 'text' as an OFS style content
object as well? 

Anyway, I certainly didn't think this through when I wrote it. :)
