Why can't you just always stick the desired document into an body
field on the document? If you always do that, then you can round trip
without problem.

So why do I think this is a problem? The 10gen appserver auto-
injects an id field into the JSON documents that are stored in our
database, Mongo. Can you guess what the key is? Yep - "_id"
So how can I roundtrip a doc from 10gen through couch and back? I
can't.
Perhaps its worth noting that CouchDB is perfectly comfortable with
externally generated _ids. It only injects an _id if you create a
new document without one. Best,
I understand that.
I was just pointing out a real-world case where a JSON doc from
"somewhere else" runs into trouble... (and yes, the issue applies
equally to the 10gen platform, when coming from "somewhere else" :)
