Rodrigo, Andreas ... I haaate it when you're right.

I have been looking at how I *actually use* the Model class, and most  
of the time it's as an interface to a single record, or a collection  
of records, not as a table interface.  The only time it's table-like  
is when I'm going a fetch or count.

So I am going to attempt a new underlying design that takes into  
account the context-switching that Antti and I dislike so much and  
see if I can come up with something that has the best of both worlds.

Thanks so much for taking the time to work though it with me.  :-)
