There was such a recommendation in the first edition of Guy Harrison's book, 
back there
in 1998. Harrison took the whole thing a bit further and suggested separate 
tablespaces
for small, medium, large, XL and XXL objects, thus separating objects by size, 
rather 
then functionally. This recommendation is still basically sound, except in the 
RAC 
environment, where you want related objects accessed from the same node and 
being in
the same tablespace, to minimize handling of tablespace headers.
