This is interesting. I'm going to look more into what you've been doing
over the weekend. But in the meantime I have a related question.
I've been working (quietly) on Multimedia Usability, and one major issue
with the whole design of multimedia on mediawiki, IMO, is the unity of
storage filename, URL, and title.
Since you've gone halfway there, how hard would it be to break these
dependencies entirely?
Also, I want a pony.

Hi everyone,
Yesterday on IRC, I suggested that I should start checking in the safer
portions of the extensionless-files branch, so as to make the eventual merge
of the feature easier. Tim suggested that I put together a design doc and
post that here for wider review first.
Here's the design doc:

The branch with the code in it is here:

Ongoing discussion on this topic is in Bugzilla:
