Is this the right approach?  What are you adding (some examples will
do at this time)?

Specifically, there's been a lot of talk about providing extensible
user settings *outside* of the core DB.  The idea is to provide access
to existing enterprise databases (eg, LDAP organization directories)
or special-purpose "social networking" databases.  How does your idea
fit into or deal with this class of extensions?
