You are fully right. Normally a developer should only use the CR methods 
to get his stuff from storage. I used "storage" because the CR is not 
limited to "SQL databases". So the way using the CR should simplify the 
access to the stored data.

If I remember correctly, we don't have made a decision, what database 
abstraction layer the CR will use. We are still disussing about some 
alternatives.
