[Typo3-dev] Is cObj->DBgetInsert going to be obsolete?

Indeed, it is overloaded, somewhat confusing and has incomprehensible 
method names. Especially that link stuff would need some slimming and 
systematization.

I would like a triad, a model-view-controller structure. Something like 
struts for the TYPO FE.

In the MODEL the database stuff.

In the CONTROLLER workflow configuration by XML.

In the VIEW merley definitions of services for:

* The link stuff (it all ends in a typolink on closer examination)
* Form library that evaluates a modified TCA to support rapid form 
generation, checks and detail views.
* List views
* Navi bars etc.

By simply exchanging the "service provider" you should ideally be able 
to switch the views between XHTML, PDF, Flash and other types.
