Hello, I think you meant: "you don't expect a file containing a directory". Anyway as you said, this is an analogy, and you can make others (even with filesystem) where this would seem a good idea. For my own, I was also making analogy to a filesystem, but simply: a node (whatever!) is a directory, and an item is a file. So simply you have some node containing only items (directories containing only files): they are leaf. Some containing only other nodes (directories in directories): collection. But it is absolutely possible to have directories with files and other sub-directories mixed, hence nodes both leaf and collection. And it seems this was the same analogy ejabberd was doing.
