ORMapping!

What I would like to see is some URL that renders *one* "row" of a query
result, ORMapped and skinned via the normal skin machinery.

Then what I would really love would be to make "sql mappers" traversable.
But I know, that would be a bit harder.

I think this abstracts in a "external data mapping" interface, along with
diverse stuff like FS access, IMAP, LDAP and the works. (Zope2 LDAP adapter
is the way I think all adapters should be.)

This makes Zope3 more object-oriented and consistent - mixing and matching
different paradigmas makes for a worse learning curve and user experience.

  It doesn't bother me that people say things like
   "you'll never get anywhere with this attitude".
   In a few decades, it will make a good paragraph
      in my biography. You know, for a laugh.
