My point exactly.  I seek entity design heuristics which minimize the
human intervention required to map into persistence, REGARDLESS OF THE
UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGY.  That is, I'm looking for entity persistence
*portability* guidelines, so that I don't have to master designing for
alternate persistence mechanisms.  Small, disjoint entities seem the
best *general* pattern for easing persistence mapping.

But OODB strategies aren't generally applicaple to portable
bean persistence.  Entity designs which expect an OODB would
be a pain to persist via O-R mapping.  Mind you, I'll be the
first to celebrate when RDBs are irrelevant.
