There's also performance benefits associated with this. It's up to solution developers to decide whether that trade-off makes sense in their particular case, and would be based on benchmarking and analysis of the level of maintenance required if internal structures change.
Obviously this voids the warranty ;-) so I'm not looking for support, but if anyone can summarise the file structures I'd appreciate. Otherwise I'll just work it out for myself by looking at the code, but that seems awfully inefficient, and will mean I'm just more likely to muck something up...
