Chris, I just read through those threads and I don't think that either of them suggest that there would be an issue with the cache using the implementation of single table inheritance that I described.
I did discuss the idea/implementation with Mark, and he didn't see any potential pitfalls. He did point out, however, that a number of forms of inheritance, including single table inheritance, are on the roadmap for a future version of Transfer. I imagine that whatever Mark ends up implementing will be far more flexible and elegant that what Paul and I came up with - if you are in a position to wait for it.
