Personally I have a hard time with it too and I think everyone who uses this 
will ask this question since it's far from obvious. I wish we could find a 
better naming scheme.

The only issue is nested spaces and for example we could decide that spaces are 
aggegreated as a single path element:

..../<space or nested spaces here>/attachments/...

Or we could decide to use a system like REST to indicate what each part of the 
path means

Or we could have a special treatment when there's a space called "attachments"  
like rename it to ~attachments for ex, etc

Or...

Thanks
