Sure, that's how it looks now. But the code can be changed.

No, it must be possible to reference a subproject that can be built as 
stand-alone project as well. This would be impossible with the 
ProjectFolder approach.
Also, I don't want to enforce the Project item in qbs files that are 
referenced as subproject. In that case that SubProject thingy basically 
acts as logical grouping for display purposes, very much like a folder.
