Regarding the model: I thought about some TCA base DAO autogeneration a
while ago. 
These are some things that came to my mind:
TCA does not needfully  consists of all field the related table consists of.
(not a big issue)
TCA does not descripes relations between objects. Though there are thoose
foreigntable settings but they are not usefull for autogenerating
table/object relations.

TCA can be used to autogenerate a l18n query. (l18n_exclude etc). This would
enable us to get rid of t3lib_pageSelect.getRecordOverlay which would result
in a significant higher performance.

Though i havent implemented some kind of TCA DOA i think the best way is to
use a combination of TCA and relation specification for autogeneration.
I know there are a lot of people out there who dont like autogeneration but
i think it should be at least avaible as an option.

I personally like the cake approach: 
See:
http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/models  and
http://api.cakephp.org/class_model.html

I thing a combination of TCA parsing and a cake like approach could be a
passable solution.
