I feel pretty strongly that if we do, we should require this be specified up-front when creating the objectStore. I.e. add some additional parameter to the optional options object. Otherwise, we'll force implementations to handle variable compound keys for just this one case, which seems kind of silly. The other option is to just disallow them. J
