Depending on what the default renderer and sorter are actually doing, it'd probably also be fairly easy to build a proxy object that proxies the entire collection, or individual objects. A flat VO isn't really an option for us, because we're automatically populating them based on XML responses (rather than a bunch of "this.foo = result.foo" statements. For "right now" I've been using get functions in the root VO although I don't much care for that :)
