++ for Ber on this one.<br>
<br>
We're building a large site demo right now that takes auitomated news feeds.<br>
<br>
We're dumping stories into nodes, and related media into Flexinodes
that have pointers back to their parent nodes (not perfect, but a fast
hack to prove a demo point),<br>
<br>
In practice, this will give us &quot;extras&quot; related to a node body that we
can place wherever we want in our theme (which, btw, may happen to be
in a Flash player...).<br>
<br>
Both $node and $profile have problems when non-core modules start
inserting objects into the output outsde the &quot;obvious&quot; control of
themers and hack-level coders (like me).&nbsp; I think this line of
thinking addresses that.<br>
<br>
(PS: When I get done with deadline hell, I promise to bang on 4.7!)<br>
