I am not sure that I can the total impact of what you are suggesting, but I would like to hear your thoughts on the following scenario; I can create a Nexus that exposes an entire application as a directory tree through JavaBean patterns and reflection. I can also create a wrapper on legacy system and expose it as a nexus. IMHO, this has tremendous advantages for system integration work, especially between systems that are traditionally 'far apart'. I truly liked the concept of a routing RootNexus, and Alex convinced me of the value for setups explained above. IMHO, it doesn't look as easy as before to do the above with your proposal.
