I am in the throes of designing a set of extensions to the moo server code
that will allow SGML documents with hyperlinks to be MOO objects.  This
solves the problem of inline graphics and even sound to some extent.  It's a
bit hairy, since I'm just digging through the server code.

One thing I'd like is the ability to treat the db as a true database and do
some object-level granularity locking for updates.  How feasible is this
given the internal structure of the db and server?  I am still digging....

Um, since the MOO server is single-threaded and all tasks run atomically,
you've got all you might need for long- or short-term advisory locks.  If what
you want is not covered by this, let me know the details of the desired
behavior and I'll tell you how hard I think it would be.
