The only explanation that I have ever been able to come up with is that if you enter an item handle in a browser the item needs to be displayed in the context of some collection, the owning collection.
Not a serious suggestion but - you could effectively abandon the current community/collection structure by only having one collection, depositing everything in there, and then tag items with keywords as required. But in doing so you would lose much of the authorisation functionality that is based on collections. On Mon, 2011-05-02 at 19:30 +0100, Mark H.
