I think, getting back to David's own real-world example, there are two 
issues:

1. Locating files (images, or others) by relative paths. I've written 
some Perl programs that after the fact, realized I should have used 
absolute rather than relative paths -- all it took was to move the 
program, and it broke. Even when you don't move things, it's /very/ 
confusing (and visually ugly) to have a file shown as something like 
'../../../../../../mnt/hdd/images/mypic.jpg'.

2. Locking properties (but not the contents). It depends on how much 
real-world need there is for this...might be very limited. If absolute 
paths had been used in David's case, this would not be an issue. I have 
had times when I had wished I could have copied properties from one 
frame to another.
