Creating a hierarchy of documents and folders using hierarchy-ID

You wouldn't be able to create images and HTML content in a local file system, and, say, store them in a CMIS system, and have all the hyperlinks work just fine. This appears to be a major problem to me as described in my previous post.

On the other hand, this would work just fine in AtomPub, provided the server did the right thing and followed the hierarchy-ID. Here's an example:

> GET /store;contents/

< 200 OK

< Content-Type: application/atom+xml;type=feed

< Content-Length: nnn

<

< <feed>

<   <id>4b01ffb2-91da-4f80-a908-79b66d35db42</id>

<   <title>Folder named "store"</title>

<   <link rel="self" href="/store;contents/"/>

<   <link rel="up" href="/store;metadata"/>

<   <app:collection href="/store;contents/">

<     <title>Folder named "store"</title>

<     <app:accept ah:role="master">application/atom+xml;type=entry</app:accept>

<     <app:accept ah:role="detail" alternate="multipart-related">image/*</app:accept>

<   </app:collection>

<   <updated>2009-01-01T10:00:00-07:00</updated>
