That is essentially what the TurbineServices already do with a bit more
features. I wouldn't mind seeing this added into the existing Services
model.

This is already mostly done in the Peer classes...

I don't see the dependency on Village in the Peer classes as a bad thing. I
like Village for the things that it is good for (inserts, updates and
selects...mass deletes are questionable)...I don't want to see it go away.

no offense, but how about finishing up what you started before taking on
more work...??? namely OPaL...;-) there is zero documentation and working
examples for that stuff...also, how complete is that code? ;-)
