Right, thinking it over, it's probably a good idea to go for something 
lighter. Like a duck-typing interface that Madeleine-based models could 
take advantage of all the benefits that Action Pack provides for Active 
Records.

I'm thinking that I'd like to do a Rails package called something else 
that was setup for running with Madeleine as a model super easiely. 
Naseby had a funny term "Derailed", which might be used. Perhaps it's a 
little negative, but it's pretty funny :).

Basically, I think Madeleine deserves way more attention in the 
spotlight as a premier choice for web-app models. Having a package like 
Rails to make it super easy to get started would be a great way of 
promoting that choice.
