The Content Types have inherent differences and functionality that would make that a very bad idea.
You can store web pages (as sites) in a document library but if you're talking about storing 'documents' in a dedicated Pages library on a publishing site then I think you will run into all manner of problems. For starters, each site can only have one Pages library. Then you have the publishing features to consider. Then there might be mandatory fields which would simply make no sense for certain types of documents. On the flip side of that, Document libraries (Documents, Images, Forms etc) all have functionality which suits those document types and may not be considered appropriate for pages. I'm sure there are other good reasons I haven't considered.

Apart from not being able to use folders, is there any other technical reason that might affect this? I want staff to be able to use the standard browser functionality to create their own views of their documents and pages. Their current intranet treats a web page as if it was a standard file. If I separate these into a Pages library and a Documents library then they will lose the ability to browse through their content as they do today. I don't want to go down the path of configuring Data View web parts or custom development.
