I am very keen on containers within containers. 

I'd like to use them
 - to be able to create tools to create user accounts on a system, each user would then be able to crete subdirectories in there
  ( eg a blogging space, a picture space etc, which could have different ACLs attached )
 - Perhaps containers in containers can be used for content negotiation. A content negotiated resources would just be a container
   that only has documents that are representations of one another.
