I'm not sure if this is _the_ ODB way - but for sure it is the ozone way of
doing things ;) The ozone API is very simple and exactly for this reason it is
very powerful. This simple API is powerful enough to handle things like Java
objects, BLOBS and XML documents the same way! Therefore the ozone API itself
should stay as simple as possible (like it is today) However, others may build
rich APIs for special domains like XML document management on top of the simple
native ozone API. This is how I picture the future of ozone.
