Glad you enjoyed that. Are you unfamiliar with CF? If so, at some point I should explain the CF CFOUTPUT syntax and usage to you. Not that I think you necessarily want to adopt them, but because having that paradigm floating around in your brain colliding with other stuff will probably be usefully inspiring.
there is no *formal* relationship between the Faction objects and the Faction property of the Character objects that happen to point to them
Why not? I would think that asserting all object/property names within a namespace/wikispace must be unique (except some special built-in keywords like "name" and "number" and "length" and "type", perhaps), so that a reference to an class as a property means a the property is a foreign key to the object. I'm trying to imagine a case where that is bad, and not coming up with something, though that may be an insufficiency of caffeine on my part.
