Hey all,

I think Thomas meant any old web page as a folder view, not just a DAV page.
I'm not sure how he envisioned this working, but I could see us doing an
icon view for web pages that gave you a folder full of web links and visible
media on the page.  We certainly wouldn't want to poke around and get that
person's real directory structure, but we could base it off of the links in
the active html file.

Thomas, how did you see this working?
