I think should be possible to attach the files using directory slashes
right in the filename. If that doesn't work, file a bug.

That is incredibly helpful. Thank you.
To take it a step further, I am very interested in Chris Anderson's
work with distributing apps via CouchDB replication. Is there any way
the LightsOut application could be incorporated as an attachment like
Chris's Twitter application?
Hierarchic attachments would be really useful I think. I could
certainly use them right now.
Because they don't exist, I'm building a notification handler that
listens for documents with attributes that indicate that .zip
attachments should be unpacked. I use a separate DB for such
documents (to filter the notifications) and it will allow me to
replicate existing static websites over Couch.
Delta replication of attachments would be useful (e.g. XDelta/RSync/
Unison) because then I could use either no-compression .zips,
or .tars, and get much improved replication performance (I do this
now in a different context).
I'm working on replicating both Smalltalk packages/files and Ruby
gems/files via Couch with a handler that manages the deployment and
execution of such processes (driven by a definition document) for
deploying applications (that use Couch) via Couch. It's particularly
useful for Smalltalk because Smalltalk scalability is handled by
running multiple instances on the same box (ST implementations
generally use green threads with no native multithreading), which I
can manage really easily using Erlang.

You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give
that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something
new.
