And OpenSim is? I actually really like the notion of a REST like interface for semi-structured attribute/value storage for modules. Similar to the cloud centric storage services. Maybe you configure a URL for the REST storage svc to use and a module that needs it can look it up and use it. One implementation could certainly be in the local database but an external svc (either a separate shared "internal" svc or a real external cloud storage svc depending on needs).
Anyway, I'd hate to see restricting options for this based on perceived stability of a solution. OpenSim itself is "alpha" as has been pointed out. Melanie, you seem to have a preconceived design in mind, maybe you could share some details.
