William, I hope you and Javi don't mind my asking, but how are 
transactions/ACID complaince being considered in the abstraction?  I would 
expect that by the very act of abstracting, it would be possible to either 
use transactions in the underlying DB calls or to not, but at the same time, 
I can also envision abstractions that make transactioning difficult if not 
impossible.
