Reading this thread really makes me wonder a bit... How can anyone even contemplate implementing inheritable properties on the client side? A server-side implementation of (strictly versioned!) inheritable props would not require any new logic on the client, and it's the only way to make such a thing work without expecting weird behaviour with different client versions. I'd have thought that the mergeinfo saga would have been enough of a reality check. Regarding upwards searches and "bounded reads" ... anyone who believes reading a datastore is cheap should try to write a fast, data-intensive GAE application. :) IOW, I completely agree with Bill Tutt's assesment and Greg's arguments. Please try to understand the issues before assuming things. -- Brane
