Another fuzzy freaky area for me:

How will one implement the remapping of an object from on to another
specialist?

Say I have Requesters (Customer's with service requests) specialist that I
want to map to Customers

Should I still set up a rack and set it's storage to the Customer ZClass and
add a skinscript method to copy attributes from the Customer specialist?

	or

Should I simply write a method for Requester, getRequester, which asks the
Customers specialist for a Customer.

Another question:

If I pass an attribute that is not registered with any attributeproviders in
a manage_changeProperties call to the object's propertysheet, will that
attribute automatically be added on top of the object?  Should one
explicitly call manage_addProperty?
