Yes, but would it be hard to write a script which automatically makes  
all items below floors invisible ?  In my opinion that would be the  
ideal solution.  Putting things 'below' floors to make them invisible  
seems such a hack.

As for visibility of items to the client, my opinion when writing the  
protocol was that exactly those items which today you could get listed  
by clicking on a square would have ITEM commands generated for them.   
(Can you see items in open containers today that way ?  Have to check,  
but ITEM commands for them should be sent as well).
