The idea is relatively simple: In the OLAP schema we should be able to define folders and sub-folders to better categorize dimension levels and measures.

It's a good idea, and it doesn't need any explicit support from Mondrian. Just a convention for the name of the member property that should hold the folder name. However, as I said in http://jira.pentaho.com/browse/MONDRIAN-1042, I can't remember the name of the property.
