[Typo3-dev] TemplaVoila, normalising the database and XML

Great to see support.

I have actually spoken to Kasper about this before and I bet you he 
won't jump at it because it'll seriously break backward compatibility 
(Don't argue with this bit ... it's not my point...).

I suggest that:
1. We design a normalised database for TYPO3's core
2. We look at all the implications - in the core, the extensions, the 
DBAL etc
3. We try to do it!!!

Basically, we have to put our coding where our mouths are!

Yes: this is a major "branch" and would probably not get finished for 
about a year or so (from experience of developing ObTS). I don't think 
this should split the community - we should just setup the branch for 
experimenting and finding solutions where backwards compatibility etc 
don't matter as much as they do in the main branch.

I am happy to help or lead this... but where to start???
