I do believe that such a system has a value, but only when built by users themselves. Sure, there would be some commonalities and schemes like Johnny Decimal may be a good guideline; prefixes would work well because they get sorted without any additional jobs (but doesn't scale for many subjects), tags are fine when you have a software support, you can also use metadata like dates and backlinks, and so on. But making a proper organization takes time and observation, and only long-time users with an urgent need have that knowledge. Especially because no organization system can remain unchagned over time.
