Yep I agree, that is what I don't like about it too. Actually I "hacked" 
the installation I use the plugin on to ignore StoragePage in 
Tx_Extbase_MVC_Controller_Argument, but that obviously could lead to 
other problems I guess. Thinking of plugins that are used in different 
places with different storage folders you could call an item from one 
storage folder with the "wrong" plugin, the question is, if that is too 
bad. What I am just thinking... Can I add 0 as Storage PID? If yes then 
that could simply been done (maybe even internally in storageBackend?).
