/**

 * @author Gary D. Gregory
 * @version $Revision$ $Date$
 * @todo Chop this class up - move all the protected methods to several
 * interfaces, so that structure and content can be separately overridden.
 * @todo Check caps in methods like getChildren(), etc, and give better error messages
 * (eg 'this file type does not support listing children', vs 'this is not a folder')
