	Well currently, you might have a ControlFactory that would provide
multiple views of the data, and you'd feed the data once into the
factory via a stream (perhaps).

	The problem with having a unique object per file, is that we prefer to
stream files rather than pass URIs to them around - and even comparing 2
URIs for equivalence is a near impossibility in a mixed case
sensitivity, symbolically-linked world so ...

	Does that help ?

	Regards,

		Michael.
