Ok fair enough then, I should have considered that everyon else might be
seeing it like that too. But I guess (depending on how many ultimate
implementations there might be) you might get your level (2)
abstraction at a different level from a level (2) abstraction in another
implementation? (Hmm, I'm getting a bit worried about how repository
format versions are going to be assigned. Might get a bit like TCP/IP
port numbers.)

Ha ha, yes it is a big document, but then the file system is pretty
complicated.
