The original versino which we wrote for Boston.com did create the folder 
hierarchy;  I can see having that as an optional handler, with the 
possibility of selecting the content type of each folderish thing.

BTW, I think current versions of ZWiki have dropped the whole "wiki 
folder" notion (but I could be wrong).
