To review: you have four outputs when processing your in-box(es). An item is either actionable (project or single action), trash, an idea that needs further research, time or whatever to act on (Someday/Maybe), or it is reference material.

The tools for dealing with your project/NA lists and your archive of reference material are fairly straightforward. OF deals with the former while products like DEVONthink, NoteBook (Circus Ponies) and Yojimobo (Bare Bones Software) deal with the latter.

The Someday/Maybe (incubator for future projects or NAs) is sort of in the middle. If the idea does not entail a lot of reference material, then I put it in the Someday folders I've setup in OF. If the idea is going to require significant research before it becomes actionable or if it includes a web archive, other documents and the like, then it goes in the appropriate folder in DEVONthink.

The point is, OF was never intended to fully encompass the GTD workflow.
