A minor point, but it seems like it would make more sense for the
storage to choose the id of the root object. The database doesn't
actually care what the root is, so long as the storage can return it.
You could add a ROOT_OID class attribute to a storage to distinguis
the value.
Even cleaner IMHO would be to use new methods storage.loadRoot() and
storage.storeRoot() here instead of doing storage.load(storage.ROOT_OID,
...) etc. (And let storeRoot choose the initial serial instead of None).
