Detailed Description

IWorkspace is a handle used for accessing preferences: either application preferences, or document preferences- you should not need to call any methods here.

Provides an abstract interface for the concept of a "Workspace". Most people will add their own interfaces to the boss object where the IWorkspace resides rather than add to the workspace itself. This interface, then, provides a startup, shutdown methodology which can be added to. However, designers should instead use the service manager and create a startup/shutdown service instead of overriding implementations of IWorkspace. This interface then becomes mainly a marker to see if a particular boss is considered a workspace or not.
