I think this is very, very cool. I used a OODB called Jade for a

This is neat too - I've never used Web Objects, but it should be easy 
for people to write their own.  Does something like a cocoon paradigm 
fit anywhere into your model? I know it's a big job writing a cocoon, 
so I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is no.

I'm looking forward to watching this project evolve, and not dissolve 
;)
