Well, even in real life something can change its "type". Your hobby can
become your job. And a simple note can become a task or even a
project... well maybe the latter is not really true as the note would
stay the same - it would only be the basis for the project.
I suppose in Nepomuk we think about real life concepts in theory but
when it comes to the implementation we need to simplify in order for it
to become usable.
