please have a look at http://drupal.org/node/28480#comment-42850. Its a revised proposal for the relation mapping. I came with this after developing my second relation module.
+1 for Bèr proposal
Since we're discussing the relation mapping fields, I'd like to invite you to think of 2 other fields: title and description. Although each node has its own title and body, when it comes to relations, each relationship may have a new title and new description which can be different from those of the nodes.
Examples:
1 - If you're making a list of books (like Amazon's listmania). Each book (from bookreview module) has its own title and body, but when you create your list of favorite books, you can make annotations regarding what's important in each book, why you recommend them, etc.
This is why there is a unique relationship ID. You can create another table with those fields, and join them with the relationship id.
2 - If you're creating a virtual tour using pictures, although each picture has its own title and body, since a picture can take different weights for several tours, you can have a different title and description for each picture in each relationship. (Bèr, think about it for shazam) Each picture is a node, and weights are already in the spec.
