I thought it was obvious that the data exported through a file system
protocol (a file system interface) need not be a conventional file system.
Thus, for example, whatever weirdness INN does to store news could be
exported through a file system protocol and mounted locally or remotely
instead of accessing the data via NNTP.  You can even do this via NFS with
a user-mode NFS server.
