Actually that's what I think it's best at, as long as you aren't
trying to get fancy.  We have a part of an intranet type app that lets
users upload table formatted data that's like a freeform spreadsheet
and we use EAV to store the data for that.  There's no FK or other
relational stuff.

The problems start to pile up when you try to do something exciting,
interesting, fascinating or other 'ings...
