Well, I was thinking something more abstract. You shouldn't rely on being able to have a key (in the JDBC sense). After all, the storage might be a single table like this: key en en_US fr --------- ------- ---------- -------------- global.title Something (null) quelque chose ...or it could be a very complicated structure based off of a "previously data driven ASP site" with a simple view giving you your info. > > >Anyway, I've been searching for my Master-Wish-List that has > this idea and a > >few others in it.

What if you rely on another plugin as your persistence layer? How would ensure that it gets called first?
