Thanks for the pointer - that does cover a lot of similar thoughts
that I had.  I suppose I was just looking for a simple initial
implementation that might not bother with versioning and undo, but
just provide enough of a template that substituting a few basic
changes (like how to handle a blob with the specific RDBMS at hand)
would permit adapting to any SQL database fairly easily.  But it sounds
like the broader scope in this discussion should lead to something
more capable eventually :-)
