We it's just a 'foreign-key' thing. So you know that a relation can exist between the field in the node and another node.

This is a difference, since you can use another object table than the default (say with addition field 'created' and 'last modified'. Given this situation, these fields should also be retrieved (would you like to get only object's back) > query, since this would require the type of the referenced object to be > known in advance. (And we already have relations for this purpose.) Maybe we could specify the objecttype of the nodes we want to be returned? (icache[id] has type images, from oalias we mostly also know the return type.. etc) Personally i would say that you could choose the object-type which you want to have as a result. -- Eduard Witteveen Systeem Ontwikkelaar NOS Internet, Gateway C Kamer 107 +31(0)356772910 http://www.omroep.nl/ Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes? : The sixth Satire from Juvenal
