imagine that somebody uploads a file into a shared collection in cosmo
using webdav. this is an arbitrary file of no type directly supported
by either cosmo or chandler - maybe it's an excel spreadsheet.

the next time chandler syncs that collection, should cosmo send the
spreadsheet to chandler?

should the spreadsheet show up as an item in the cosmo dashboard?

if the answer to either/both of these questions is yes, should the
spreadsheet be modeled as a Note item? this would mean it has a body
that is potentially viewable/editable in the chandler and cosmo detail
views and that it has an icaluid which would allow it to possibly be
exported to icalendar as a VJOURNAL - both of which could be awkward
for a spreadsheet saved in a binary format.

for now, cosmo will send attributes about the spreadsheet to chandler,
but it won't send the spreadsheet's contents, and it will not report
the spreadsheet as a Note. chandler will only learn the uuid, title
(filename), triage status, triage status changed, last modified by,
and created on attributes.
