Hideo, I am a padawan in the LAFS realm but re #1, that was one of my
first questions - why not have the client be able to talk to webdav,
S3, SWIFT, and other systems directly so no logic was needed server side?

Right now I think you have to do FUSE mounts of S3 or webdav or something
else and run the storage node on top of that but longer term I think
being able to support no-software-install standard-protocol backend
nodes as an option would be great for LAFS.
