Although I agree that it is neat and fun to use, it is much less efficient than other existing UI designs and processes. I can fly through files in the terminal, navigate a website with tabs, search thousands of documents on google, pop between applications with Mac OS' expose, or navigated pages in a PDF with the down arrow key much, much, much faster than I can zooming in and out of this virtual spread of documents.
The idea is that you can make it any way you'd like, things that need more emphasis and "permanence" would be prominent and easily accessible (most likely by hot-key, etc). When you think about it in depth, it's capable of the exact same experience without all the strange metaphors we have currently. It's also not meant to be just documents, it's meant to contain ALL applications.
