It's fun seeing information science applied to different domains. This is very similar to the system that we've converged on over the last 100 years for legal codes with title.chapter.section (see, e.g., https://law.cityofsanmateo.org/us/ca/cities/san-mateo/code/8...). The ability with the system to unambiguously and _succinctly_ cite to a particular part of the law (or, in this case, the filesystem) is a game changer.
