For some people, MetaKit's model specifically is
*not* the relational one.  My guess is that
you're simply focusing attention on a particular
aspect of "relationalness".  While you certainly
have that freedom, progress in the domain of
small/embedded/... data managers is sufficiently
rapid that you're probably going to need to give
more details before readers conclude, "Ah!
*That*'s his point."

While my current connections to the MacOS world
are tenuous, I believe there are a growing mul-
titude of possibilities.  It'll help to specify
your interest more precisely; I don't think there
are cheap answers in this domain.  Do you care
about multi-user operation?  What do you mean by
object-relational?  What are your scale and
performance requirements?  In what way does Gad-
fly, for example, not meet your needs (assuming
that the versioning situation blocks you from
using MetaKit)?

If you're lucky, Gordon will jump in and shine
light all around.
