Okay. After reading the responses, let me amend my original idea. :-) It's based in part on the way that links.module handles outgoing weblinks.
1) All downloadable file should be nameable, and support per-file access restriction 2) Files should be uploadable and manageable WITHOUT attaching them to a new or existing node 3) Whenever a file is uploaded, other modules should be able to hook into the process (to create full-fledged nodes, or build file variations, for example) 4) Attaching a file to another node should involve: a) selecting an exsting file node, or b) uploading a file during node edit/create, which would be saved as a dedicated file.
Please keep in mind that comments should be able to contain files, too. We need this for project.module and forum.module, at least. -- Tim Altman
