Is it possible to use ROP (serialized data objects) and regular data objects at the same time? In EOF each editing context is backed by a different object store and the remote objects have a special remote object store. As long as the two types of objects are separate you can use both at once.
Also can the same class be used to represent both types of objects or is it necessary to have client specific versions?
