Wow, oh wow!
I had some slight indication that this was developing but this is great!
Beyond what I could ever imagine... fabulous!

This sounds great. I love the idea.
Does this mean that later on, machine-generated reviews/FAQ
lists/galleries/etc. can be created on the spot? that is, if they have the
same structure, could there be a "review center" instead of lugnet.reviews,
which will allow you to easily search the db for reviews (with the same
concept applicable to dictionary/FAQ/lexicon, and so forth)?
If so, that would be SO excellent. (Even if not so. :)
