Possibly. It may be that the final DB "design" (more so content than table
defs) may be implementable in many fashions, each up to the developer of
whatever server. If somebody *really* wants to store the DB as a
bunch-o-files, that's their decision (so long as the same information is
stored). If that's what you meant by "schema is part of implementation,"
then I agree...I want that part to be as independent as possible, at the
very least to allow for MySQL/Oracle/Postgres/whatever decisions at the
server-admin level.

Ah! Found it. Glanced at it this morning as I "purged" my folder, decided
it was worth keeping and looking at again later. I will be drawing from
that later today, I'm sure. Thanks!

[note -- I wonder if we want to start prefacing subject lines with some
content-tag, like "DB" or "client" or "proto" or something, until we have
separate lists going...] [just another thought...]
