but then... there's upload.module....
Here's my highly opinionated contribution to the discussion.
1) All downloadable files should be nodes. 2) Whether upload.module, file.module, or hooha.module does this is a side issue as long as ONE centralized module does it. 3) 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 node. 4) Inlining an image or a link to a file should be done using tokens.
I might be wrong. As I wrote it out, I thought of better ways to do it. But it's one way that it could work that would be consistent and would make sense.

Wow! two words: perfect idea. :)
Yeah. And solves the 'private files' at the same time. Awesome idea!
