Context: strong names, functions acl, per named object, namespaces
Went looking for some ambiguous and open data semantics, found in PUT-DATA.
For what benefit/purpose, one might ask. Pg 15 doesnt really say very much
about the underlying issue motivating the choice of mechanism.

Just as a note in passing, the ISO/IEC 7816-4 GET DATA and PUT DATA
commands for reading and writing TLV data objects do NOT require a file
system. The PIV card application is an example of this approach.

Both of which require a 7816 file system (or enough of one, anyway). As
more
and more Javacards are deployed, fewer cards have a file system :-/

What's funny about that is I've seen one system that fires literally
dozens of
APDUs at a card in an attempt to determine what is on it... it would
take far
fewer bytes to query a file structure.
