This reminds me of one of the principles of camlistore's data schema, which explicitly says that they made their schemas overly-explicit so that future digital archeologists can re-create the schema purely from examples[1]. It's a shame that camlistore feels more like a very long experiment over a polished and usable backup/archive system.
