But that requires the client to fetch all the schema's that are defined. 
That's probably okay for a client that is creating entries, since it will 
be set up to only write a specific set of entries anyway, but it's not 
clear to me that it's okay for a client that is GET'ing entries.  If 
people feel strongly that @for is a premature optimization, oh well.

I will take another look at your questions.
