One of our target users is the kind of person who works in a company, using
an office suite to read and produce documents, sharing information, etc. On
*so* many occasions (and I don't think this is news to anyone), I have seen
massive trees of categorised folders with all kinds of documents in them,
often a shared resource on a file server, which users navigate through to
open files for editing or reading, and drop files into (usually from email).

It's a very common scenario. I think these kinds of users should be on our
radar as target users (particularly with the goals of Topaz in mind).
