The include statement in the diary file is enough for inclusion of diary
files.  Adding files in org-agenda-files would be enough when we don't
need to have a certain file included depending on the content we're
processing.

I think the rationale behind Tim's idea is: 

- make it possible to *dynamically* process a list of agenda files
  (instead of the static org-agenda-files)

- make it possible to fetch remote/shared resources so that you can
  *collaborate* over the network with Org files.

The horizon is to handle Org files in a more dynamic, modular,
distributed way © ...  But maybe Tim has better/simpler arguments.
