I can accept that NHibernate may have limitations requiring the full entity to be referenced to achieve referential integrity, and that we might have to do some less than ideal hacks to preserve the desired public interface (e.g. only the Id is exposed, but the full entity is mapped privately), but my question is really more directed at why expressing an association with only the Id of the entity would be bad design. Were this directly supported, I can't see why someone would want to avoid this.
