To really take it to the next level, I would recommend modeling it 
after ZOPE and ZODB. Zope is a web application platform built on 
Python, and it is layered upon ZODB, Z Object Database. So Zope is a 
web-aware, multiuser, multithreaded, transactional object persistence 
platform :-). I used to be really into Zope when I was using Python a 
lot. Kinda lost interest tho.

I'm sure a comparable thing could be implemented in transcript with a 
data stack's custom properties! (you know with those n-dimensional 
groups of custom properties in richard's article)
