Yes, I'm talking about not only cooperating cells, but where there's a 
single architectural department which designs all of them.  Then you 
really can get a global and fully location independent filesystem (within 
the larger organization -- i.e. an entity like Morgan Stanley).

Obviously for the public afs space where cells map to organizations, the 
/afs/<cell> convention works much better.
