This conversation is degrading because we haven't presented things.

There were rules about filenaming - I'm sure of it.  There were other rules
too according to file placement and approval and syntax and stuff like that
is also demonstrated in the prototype.

Files are scanned for viruses at upload time.  They can equally be scanned for
XML completeness or anything else we can reasonably automate.

The stages of the workflows can be restricted based on easily programmed
checks, regex or otherwise, on any metadata, including file filename.  I
setup the filename check as a proof of this, not anything else.  We can
include all rules.

Seriously, with as much work as I've done so far, hearing anyone offer any
additional value to what he did is just insulting.  Unless you have something
to show for all the work he did here, please stop saying this.  He helped
open up conversation a lot, but actually produced very little.  The best we
have to go on so far is a long listing of rules and processes that are
unfortunately still difficult to follow and impossible to implement.  And an
email conversation thread about this will get out of hand, so I don't want to
have it here.
