A client shouldn't worry about moving stuff from one
folder to another. This is seems to be the wrong model
to me. 

A 'drafts' folder is a virtual collection created by
filtering out entries whose state==publish from the
entries collection. Once an entry's state is changed
to publish from draft, then it stops showing up in the
'draft's folder automatically. 

This seems a lot simpler and less error prone than
making them distinct folders that are dependent on
clients maintaining server state. 


THINGS TO DO IF I BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD #222
I reserve the right to execute any henchmen who appear to be a little too intelligent, powerful, or devious. However if I do so, I will not at some subsequent point shout "Why am I surrounded by these incompetent fools?!"
