I disagree. Doing it this way may introduce difficulties or 
incompabilities in the future. I think we should design it from the 
ground up, keeping in mind the all databases.

We probably should write a page on a wiki describing the API, without 
actually implementing anything. Then anyone involved may contribute to 
its design, so it may evolve into somewhat more thought out API.
