An abstracted layer isn't that much work, but as you say lets concentrate on
other things for now - lets get something running!

I need to put my proxy code back in - its usable right now as is(put any object
into an InformativeFactoryImpl and get a valid Informative object back), but
returned objects don't have the same interface as those passed in. It should be
good enough for you to use right now though. I hope to have the proxy code done
by tomorrow evening.
