+1 to what Vincent said. Plus:
* better access to object data
** all the document data in one place, no need to fetch document, then
objects, then each property
** URL for getting object data from the first object of that type,
without having to specify the object number (useful when there's only
supposed to be one object of a type, but sometimes the object number can
be different from 0)
** easy to update object data
* search: lucene-like matches instead of regular expressions
