I appreciate your interest in newtorque. This was the original idea - that people
could easily adapt templates for their specific needs. I also have vision for
Torque to be more than an OM generator... Maybe one day I'll be able to work full
time on it, and we'll have world peace :-)

I doubt that there will be much performance improvement. Maybe for large sets of
data. Have you got any performance measurements to go along with this.

This is a very useful feature. I think we should just try and keep the old
doSelect() method in the classes and provide this one as an alternative. Maybe
later on we can remove the old doSelect(), but I will depend entirely on how
people are using Turbine. If you do this can you may send me a diff?

I'm in the process of looking at the xml schema again. Maybe it would be worth it
to keep this in mind. If you do something like this, please send me diffs. Help
is always appreciated.
Thanks for your inputs
