We do seem to be looking at a host of fairly major suggested changes to 
ODD and ODD processing at the moment, so perhaps we need a little 
working group to come up with a full-scale proposal. Once the 
text-direction stuff is off my table, I'd be happy to get involved with 
that; I'm supposed to be doing various documentation enhancements to our 
page on getting started with ODDs, and it would be good to write a 
complete revision of that page as part of a larger process to improve 
the overall system.

I think this would be a major simplification, actually, don't you? 
@idents could be prefaced with the class name and thus be globally (in 
the world of P5) unique.

Cheers,
Martin
