Since the author of BeFS (1999), Dominic Giampaolo, is the lead architect for Apple's APFS (2016), it would be more helpful if there's an article that shows the delta between BeFS and APFS.
In the intervening 17 years, Mr. Giampaolo surely learned new things that invalidated some assumptions in 1999 and/or discovered new demands on file systems that he didn't foresee.
Imo, the intellectual evolution from the vantage point of 2017 & hindsight would be much more interesting than trying to read through a 247 page pdf.
