Hello,
With respect to http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Reserved_words: I'm a
developer currently writing an application framework layered over
couchdb.
The framework needs to annotate user documents with additional state
information. Prior to recent releases, my framework used property
names
beginning with an underscore to store these annotations (following the
convention that such names are separate from the user data). As things
stand, this is no longer possible, but I was wondering if the
couchdb dev
team would consider allocating a specific property name -
For the record, suggestions for the future of CouchDB should be sent
to the dev@ mailing list.
Cheers
Jan

e.g. something
like _meta - specifically for this use case. The idea would be that
the
property could then be used by third party developers to house any
values
considered orthogonal to the document data.
Example:
{
"_meta":{
"plink_framework_property_a": 23,
"plink_framework_property_b": "2009-10-29T00:00:00Z"
}
}
