 * ``_fromDatabase`` currently doesn't support IDs that don't fit into
   the normal naming scheme.  It should do so.  You can still use
   ``_idName`` with ``_fromDatabase``.
+
 * More databases supported.  There has been interest and some work in
   the progress for Oracle, Sybase, and MS-SQL support.
+
 * Better transaction support -- right now you can use transactions
   for the database, but the object isn't transaction-aware, so
   non-database persistence won't be able to be rolled back.
+
 * Optimistic locking and other techniques to handle concurrency.
+
 * Profile of SQLObject performance, so that I can identify bottlenecks.
+
 * Increase hooks with FormEncode (unreleased) validation and form
   generation package, so SQLObject classes (read: schemas) can be
-  published for editing more directly and easily.

+
+* Simple method (in sqlmeta) for serializing a SQLObject instance to a
+  dictionary -- both a dead dictionary (copy of values) and a live
+  dictionary (setting keys changes the instance).
+
 * Automatic joins in select queries.
+
 * More kinds of joins, and more powerful join results (closer to how
   `select` works).
+
 * Refactor ``DBConnection`` to use parameterized queries instead of
   generating query strings.
+
 * Deprecate support for Python 2.2. Start using logging instead of print
   for debugging output.
-* Event system. This will effect columns; patterns like ``onUpdate`` methods
-  and whatnot.
