Heavily updated thoughts on Amara 2.x API

[Uche Ogbuji]

I put a lot of thought into the new API, especially following Joel
Bender's ideas. Please review the proposed new API I've outlined here:

http://wiki.xml3k.org/Amara2/Whatsnew

Joel, I think this addresses all the capability you wanted. It's a
fairly different approach, but I had to try to support your needs, and
other scheme/constraint related needs while keeping things reasonably
simple.

Feedback welcome. If you'd prefer to give feedback on the Wiki, and
don't have an account, I just sent to the list info on how you can gain
access.

Thanks.

Navigating the waters of these two titanically opposing forces is not
for the faint of heart! More comments to come, but thank you.

Now if we can apply this experience to rdflib a la TRAMP...but that's a
discussion for another day!

Thanks Uche for this. It was much needed IMO.

Like I was saying on IRC, most modifications would answer limitation in
Amara 1 that had led me to create "bridge" in the first place.
Interestingly some patterns you describe are very similar to what I had
ended up doing in "bridge". Overall this looks great from my perspective
and I'm looking forward to it. I've notably already set a migration to
Amara 2 for amplee 0.7

Thanks again,
