    I'm a bit confused about what benefit that would give.  The Fields come 
from the SpoutConfig, by way of the RecordTranslator.  Why would you want to 
override the Fields but not the RecordTranslator that must conform to those 
fields?  I just don't see value it separating two things that are highly 
coupled together.
