If you could point me to an explanation of why changing this is

No. The primary reason is "why change - the current mechanism has
worked for a year". Damien (project lead) doesn't regard change as
necessary, and a significant change to support top-level reflexivity
(which is your primary thrust) doesn't have support from the other
gatekeepers. There is some support for name identity, although I
suspect not enough to prompt a change.
Alright. I hereby cry "Uncle" and will let this go (for a while,
anyway...)
Thanks all for such an interesting conversation. I look forward to
more in this community, as I really find document and other
"alternative" databases interesting, and think they are going to be
key for "cloud" computing...
/me wanders off to try and get more that 6 docs/sec into Couch...
