I don't have time to read your article right now, but I will do so 
later. I'm quite interested in making the presentation of tabular data 
scale better. Right now, zc.table excepts to have access to the whole 
list in order to sort and batch it, but with huge amounts of data this 
may not scale so well. Relational databases have limit queries that seem 
to help here, though I'm not sure how much optimization is happening on 
the backend level.

Anyway, just wanted to register my interest in this topic, if indeed I 
understand you correctly.
