BTW, for maximum utility, I think that the view API will have to
change as well. There's incredible power in the CDB view model, but
you'll want to be able to return a pure "user document" from a call
to a view (conform to some specific "schema"), rather than at least
what I understand is the current metadata-oriented structure.
Can you expand on that? With examples and all?

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

b) I should have the choice to not have it injected at all
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" :)
