Conceptually I agree with such a malleable approach -- actually
I prefer it.  I thought however it was too much infrastructure to
foist on the problem just to add a few more models into the mix.

The only reservation which comes to mind is that of logistics.
This may ruffle the code some and impact others such as Andre
who seem to have existing patches relative to the current structure.
Anyone have strong objections to this approach before I have a
look at an implementation?

Thanks,
