Yes, I forget the details, but I do recall this change being schooltool-inspired or driven. Obviously I don't understand Fred's rather strongly worded objections either. :) In Grok, we have grok.Adapter and grok.Annotation. grok.Annotation is, I think, easy to explain: it's an adapter that actually persists its own data. The factory pattern supports this. Regards, Martijn
