Thats a good discussion on Peter's site and that graphic is what i'm 
talking about (thank goodness i'm not the only one thinking this way!). I 
think that a good organization of content is one that finds the sweet spot 
between User Goals + Context and Business Goals + Context while taking 
into account the attributes of the Content itself and the technology of 
how it will be delivered.
