Original Thinking:

  Dirents need their own properties. For example, since node names
  are stored in dirents, we might want alternate names on different
  systems.

New, Enlightened Thinking:

  Someday, the filesystem may support hard links. Until then, it's a
  waste of time to implement this. Dir and file props are good
  enough, and it will be easy to add dirent props later.

Original Thinking:

  We need a "server" layer to allow any program to act like server.
  The server layer will provide administrators with meta-control over
  the server's behaviors, auth mechanisms, etc. It will also act
  like a "big multiplexer", allowing clients access to different
  repositories. It will also have a whole plugin API, so folks can
  extend the server's abilities.

New, Enlightened Thinking:

  There's nothing in that list above that Apache + mod_DAV can't do.
