Yes, I have sketches for a more generic data type system that allows  
end user defined data types. This will allow for an editing UI and what  
have you.

Note: my use of the term data type is probably different then  
traditional use. What I mean by that is the definition of new container  
and collection types. For instance weblog posts are "item" containers  
and a weblog is made of a collection of items. I'm not talking about  
defining and constraining detailed data types. They're squishy types.  
Maybe that's what I'll call them. :-) Basically the container just has  
to have a few basic properties, i.e. an item must have a title and a  
description, but from there it's open to putting whatever you want into  
it. If you put something there that the system can't handle it will  
just ignore it.
