Where does an audio email attachment fall in here?  If being a
subclass of "File" implies an ExactFilename property, this doesn't
work.

The one thing I've learned while doing Beagle is to stop thinking in
terms of files.  Think of everything else first: emails, email
attachments, contacts from a server like EDS or Gmail, calendar items,
IM conversations -- some of these things don't have any backing store
locally.  Then, think about all the possible contents of these items.
They are distinctly different concepts.
