Don't notebooks need different folders than tasks?

I have a conceptual/design question. Notebooks currently use the same folder field as tasks, but at first glance it seems like that will rarely be the right thing.
Notebooks and tasks are very different types of data, and will often need very different organizational systems. To offer an extreme example, Proximo's GTD method uses a small number of folders reflecting GTD status flags: Active, Waiting for, etc. You will never want to organize your text files that way. Even with less extreme examples, there is still no reason to assume that every user will organize their to-do's (actionables) into the same categories they use for Notebooks (basically a miniature document file system). In fact it would be pretty surprising if they all did. Shouldn't notebooks use some separate organizational category ("file cabinets" or whatever) rather than trying to re-use the same folder choices from the to-do list?

Currently, folders for tasks and notebooks overlap, but we plan to allow them to be disjointed in a future update.
