I talked about this approach with a colleague from China during MEDINFO. 
The problem is your schema grows with your archetypes. Also, that storing data 
from many templates that don't use all the fields in the archetype, will 
generate sparse tables (lots of null columns). I told him it was easier to do 
an ORM from the IM, because the schema doesn't change and allows to store data 
from any archetype/template. But they already have a system working this way.
