They don't really have to reinvent the wheel here or anything, just use
Nautilus interface for CD-burning. If you haven't used it before, it
pops up when you insert a blank-CD or DVD and you can drag-n-drop
folders and files on it (which are obviously not then moved there).
Once done you burn the CD - before that it looks and acts like a
directory (its what I expected when I first used UbuntuOne and then
found I'd "lost" some documents).
I think UbuntuOne is already exploring using symlinks too which will be
nice as I'd like to have certain directories continuously uploaded (or
synced) with the server without having to continue to drag-n-drop them
in the UbuntuOne folder. If I can keep a symlink there to my documents
then hopefully as those documents change, they will be uploaded...

I, personally, don't think that this mount/unmount method (ala iDisk) is
particularly intuitive. I'm not mounting a remote disk, and so, it
shouldn't behave as though I was. I don't see how this way is "better".
Keep it simple.

I think, in one word, things should be as easy as iDisk on Mac OS X. In
iDisk, Mac OS X treats your folder on MobileMe remote server as a disk
and makes you access remote files like you access files on local
harddrive. I think NFS also made this years ago. This is a must-have of
Ubuntu One. If one thing is not convinient and intuitive to do, users
will give up your products.

That's not how I'd like it. It's a folder on my system so it
should
act just like a folder. Dragging to it moves from local disk,
copies
from remote disk. Ubuntu One isn't like an sshfs mounted chunk
of
space, it's just a folder which happens to have some magic that
syncs
it to the cloud.
