I've just looked over the Agreement entity and the
"history" of it in svn.  I can completely see why
we're coming at this from different perspectives. 
Agreement.productId has ALWAYS been there.  I'm
shocked.   I assumed Agreement was meant to be generic
(there I go assuming again).  If Agreement.productId
exists, the Agreement entities are anything but
generic.  If productId is a foreign key, the Agreement
entities are not designed to support employment
agreements, order agreements, etc. and technically,
not even pricing lists (as that would be require a one
to many relationship between agreements and products,
but this is a one to one relationship).  

Hopefully, by the end of the week I'll be finished
with the changes I'm making to the party relationships
 http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-149

(for my local use, but will be available in JIRA when
I'm done, and if there's any interest I'll create a
patch that replaces the current party relationship
stuff)

After that I'd be more than happy to
collaborate/develop a generic Agreement model that
will be easier to model and integrate with other
generic models as we'll end up needing it to be
generic in our local implementation.
