seems reasonable. If we're going to expose the difference between SDMF and MDMF, then should we also expose "CHK"? and "LIT"? If not, then should we lump both SDMF and MDMF as "MUT" or "MUTABLE"? I guess I'm slightly in favor of the former, something like:

read/write read-only
literal file - LIT
immutable file - CHK
SDMF file SDMF SDMF-RO
MDMF file MDMF MDMF-RO
LIT (empty) dir - DIR-LIT
immutable dir - DIR-CHK
SDMF dir DIR-SDMF DIR-SDMF-RO
MDMF dir DIR-MDMF DIR-MDMF-RO
