Not to mention that it would make for very poor data quality. It would
establish a user-maintained (or rather, to-be-maintained) relationship
between data; it would go over the software's head, and the database
wouldn't know the least bit about it. From a practical point of view, when
would an empty relation be downloaded? Never, if it has no members: which
means that mappers would generally be anaware that such a thing even
exists.

In conclusion, you're suggesting a method that the machine couldn't help us
with, and that mappers would have a very hard time (if not impossible)
using correctly.

Simone
