kongondo, I have to say you are the bestest user in whole wide modx world. your feedback is very useful and informative to any developer.
<brainstorm>
on your last point about the database vs document approach.
Being relatively new to MODx development(slightly over a year) and still getting to grips with its power...
I think most module/snippet developers have a difficult time deciding on going the database route(i.e no referrence or linkage to MODx documents for snippet-data) OR the document route. Taking the document route would mean easier access to very powerful and useful tools like Ditto,Jot..etc. If one takes the database route, i.e. no linkage to documents, then it means you would have to code smart and probably hard to make your data entities accessible to Ditto and others...without overwhelming that document tree. (is this where concern also lies?)
I have thought about it too and thought maybe if one creates an unpublished document associated with a data item used by a snippet or module, then one can take full advantage of Ditto and others. But how would that affect viewing the items if they are unpublished documents?
I also thought we should have an extra field or enum in some future MODx version(s), that would allow a document to be either "normal" or "data item". Default would be normal. If it is a "data item", then snippets and modules can relate or link their data to the document, and perhaps it could also have an option to display or not display it in the document tree.

will try out pkBlog, by the way
havent tried it yet, but your comments will push me to do so. I do have some good use for it in some project I’m working on. I wonder if PubKit will be released soon as well.
