I have a question (based on ignorance) of Workspaces.  When you say they are a boundary for references and query, is the intent that you can not cross-query multiple workspaces?

My original thought for one scenario is for Records Management, and having a workspace on a per-year basis (making it easy for repository backup).  But, still need to support query across all years/workspace.

Is this a valid scenario for utilizing workspaces?

Examples:

Use workspaces for things like:
- v1.2 of your project vs. a v1.3 of your project
- a "development", "qa" and a "published" state of content
- completely separated applications that should probably run on
separate repositories to begin with ;)

Do not use workspaces for things like:
- user home directories
- distinct content for different target audiences like public,
private, local, ...
- mail-inboxes for different users
