I don't really know what you mean here. I can understand if what you're
trying to say is that the "file manager" should be a core part of the
interface, not an "application" that's added on to it; but I don't know for
sure that that's what you're saying. I don't see how the user could directly
manipulate *anything* unless they happen to be able to change bits with
their mind ;) You still need some sort of "proxy" (in your words).

Not to start any flames, but for those who are uninformed (like myself), how
did it "break" in OSX?
