I can't say I understand what you are discussing enough to feel 
confident to interrupt but while looking arround searching for more info 
I found this: 
http://www.agiledata.org/essays/mappingObjects.html#MapToGenericStructure

Could a Generic Schema help?

The idea of being able to specify in my code what needs to persist 
without having to worry about the database schema sounds interesting.

But then again, I'm just getting started on the subject.
