Nope -- I meant the person who created the file, what you call  
'Owner' below.

Well, theoretically you could share a document with both a user (ex:  
I share a document with Quentin) or a device (ex: I share a document  
on my website). Currently, most people would probably 'send' rather  
than 'share' a document to a website, but I could see, in the future,  
the case where any updates made to a shared page are reflected back  
to the "original" document.

> - Comment/Description

Yep.

> - URL

We shouldn't need URL if we're tracking what devices (ie: web  
servers) are sharing the document... unless you want to track the URL  
where something was _retrieved_ from (rather than where it's posted).

> - Owner (this is related to the next one)

Yep -- what I called Creator.

> - Permissions

I, personally, think permissions are very, very confusing when done  
the traditional Unix-y way (especially Groups). Do we have some  
better way to manage file access? Perhaps with the concept of Sharing?

> - Version/Revision

Yep, although, ideally, a single file would have all the versions  
within it, and you could just export the specific version that you  
want. File versioning within the file is a feature that I really,  
really want (so I don't have to have a zillion versions of any given  
file on my computer, as I do currently).

Yep.

Yep.

Yep -- totally agree. License would be particularly good to be able  
to store within the document as well.
