This is what I was trying to express the other day when I said that we
need something like the LFC. Where as the LFC maps to logical names to
SURLs, is this notmapping namespaces (directories) to physical spaces
(or is it logical space?). I agree that this might not belong in the
information system on the other hand this doesn't necessarily mean that
it should not be in the information model.
