Summary: A DAIS server may support multiple hierarchical organizations. Each hierarchy will then have it's own path names that are valid only within that view.Currently Item::find_by_type() and Node::find_by_type support retreival of flattened out items. Make this clearer in the spec. Add documentation describing how a flat namespace is implemented.

Improve documentation on views and flat data access

A DAIS server may support multiple hierarchical organizations. Each
hierarchy will then have it's own path names that are valid only
within that view.Currently Item::find_by_type() and Node::find_by_type
support retreival of flattened out items. Make this clearer in the
spec. Add documentation describing how a flat namespace is
implemented.
