Niclas Hedhman updated POLYGENE-117:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
There is configuration and then there is configuration.

The Polygene Configuration concept is primarily concerned over application 
internal details, and because of its ease-of-use, the larger picture is not in 
full view.

In the enterprise, there are massive systems designed to externalize 
configuration from applications, and those applications often need to interface 
with those.

We should investigate how these systems are typically built and organized, and 
see if we can make a reasonable abstraction, that ties into the Configuration 
concept in Polygene. Allowing Configuration to be backed by networked 
service(s) or even file system data.

This may very well tie into the UnitOfWork-Services, that Kent has recently 
raised, and might therefor be dependent on the overhaul of the UoW definition.
