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.
