granted the names are less than perfect, you do illustrate very well that
assumptions (of any kind) pretty much suck (at least when it comes to this
kind of work) ... I assume you understand what I mean ;-)

I do recommend a thorough read of all the major sections of the docs
(those covering core functionality more than anything). garanteed you'll
come accross stuff that you'll use 3 months down the line which you would
otherwise have to search deity knows how long for

... at least that's my experience.
