Derik and I were talking about how the schema could accommodate more than just
the MOML file. Currently there is a column on the WORKFLOW_EXEC table has a
WF_CONTENTS_ID column to point to the MOML as it existed for that run (in the
DATA table).
If we do want to store all these auxiliary files in the provenance store
then....we'd need to support n* files for each execution. I think it's fine to
store them in the same DATA table that is being used for all the other data
(and moml file).
Would need to keep track of "file type" - this is more than just "is it a PDF?"
- we'd need to know if, say, an XML file was a ROML or a RIO, etc...
If we did have 2 or more Report Layouts (ROML) for a given workflow execution -
we'd need a way to distinguish them from each other (perhaps a name or other
metadata about the particular layout).

I'm not sure we're completely committed to storing all these artifacts in the
provenance store (it seems slightly orthogonal to the intent of provenance).
