Hi Dirk,

I am agreeable to most of what you said.  Although on the package_id can I ask for a clarification.  That this mean that is a one to one mapping?  Would it be good if different packages can say display or manipulate the same object?  Or is this package_id is more or less like the mother package?

For example a news object, its mother package_id is the an instance of a news package?

Is the name a link?  Much like cr_items.name?  If so then I guess some of the things in CR will have to move out to be in acs objects.  Is that right?
