I don't mean to be pessimistic, but in my experience so far, using
"relational ideas" with the datastore pretty much results in queries
that consume way too much CPU time (because it involves too many
datastore hits).  Data modelling using the datastore is quite
different than normal relational modelling, and trying to adapt it
will likely just (slightly) delay the inevitable.
