Over at the EOF project, I'm working on an FTP interface into Freenet, and
I've
had to come to terms with similar issues.  As you mention further down in
your
email, MSKs actually provide a pretty decent solution to this - you can
treat an
MSK as a virtual directory with filename->key mappings, and links to other
MSKs can be mapped as links to other directories.  Of course one would
expect their freenet virtual drive to be more comprehensive (that is, to
encompass all of freenet, or at least a large portion of it) than an FTP
server,
so MSKs don't solve the problem entirely, but they could provide a decent
starting point.
