[Halvdan Grelland <halvdanhg@xxxxxxxxx>]

We are planning on introducing files as a type for data values, as well as
data elements supporting this (document, images). You would then use the
datavalue model to implement these types of requirements.

The implementation is in the works but is a fairly complex beast as we're
juggling actual files outside of the database (we consider in-db storage of
large blobs uscalable and a generally bad idea). We're also planning to
enable offloading this to third party cloud storage (eg amazon s3).

I'm on holiday at the moment but please respond if you have any comments
and I'll get back to you when I can.
