I'm playing the devil's advocate here. I'd really like to have
Stephane Lauriere's input on this.
Look at WinFS for example. It's implemented as a flat structure with
only tags. This allows having different views easily. It's possible to
simulate a directory/folder-based system using a tagging system.
The solution in our case could be to offer standard tags such as
"space" and "wiki".
I also think it would be much simpler to use a strong notion of Wiki/
Space and have such objects but I don't want to dismiss any other
solution and I'd like that we have this discussion.
What do others think?

Yep, I have this one in mind.
Thanks
