As the person who probably did the most noise towards the need to
implement vertical mapping, I want to say that upon closer inspection,
it probably doesn't matter so much --- at least for us, so we wouldn't
care if vertical mapping went back to the bottom of the to-do (although
flattened attributes would still be very useful).

What *would* be very cool indeed, and in my opinion far more important,
is completion of the optimistic locking logic.

We might be contributing a sample app soon, as part of an
Appkit-inspired widget set we're in the process of developing for our
GPL'ed application.=20

Don't worry, reverse engineering is legal in most places, including such
fascist, backwards and dictatorial countries such as the US! In Europe,
I understand it is very heavily protected. Even the draconian DMCA has
special provisions to allow for reverse engineering.
