Well, for one thing, I'm not really sure a DBus abstraction layer over a
(generic) file system is worth it; the implementation will have to be shared
between all Telepathy agents. Using files in POSIX sense is probably the
simplest thing; on systems where FUSE is available, this can also cover lots of
other possibilities.

A different idea: maybe there should be a dedicated Telepathy component for
persistent storage, which pulls data out of the transfer sockets, provides file
paths upon request (probably cached files produced out of the primary store, so
only intended for reading or quick copying), and informs when the files become
unavailable.
