Hmm, that is a good point, I hadn't thought of that.

Does the stack "display" as the top item?

Can you push items onto the stack after it has been created?  I guess  
so.

Can you pop just the top item off the stack?  I guess not, I think  
you will be able to remove any item from the stack when it is  
"opened," not just the top one, but it would be nice to be able to  
just take the top item off the stack without "opening" the stack by  
dragging it (like a pop operation).

Of course, PathFinder has a stack in its UI.  It's great.

I wonder though if Apple will do the "real stack"(TM)  thing or just  
display the items in alphabetical order?

I'm sure we'll find out earlier than that ;-)
