Everything was wonderfully clear, except that the actual mechanism to
convert the nested tuples flexibly to RDBMS record sequences escaped me
a bit.  This probably gets in the realm of "look at the code" which is
what, in fact, I will hope to do.

This does sound good.

Zope3 will rule the world!  ;-)
