I see the convenience of having a simple and at some extent standard
key to index and manage textemes (I like the term too). Anyway, if the
character is simple, I don't see too much problems on allowing property
values that are pointers to complex structures. Anyway, I think also
that development should concentrate on simple properties first.

I was thinking of textemes having complex properties as user-defined or
domain-specific extensions to Omega textemes, not as default entities.
I was only worried about the possibility that allways supposing that a
property is simple will hard-code this limitation in Omega, and
subsecuent extensions will became very difficult.

Lástima... ¿Dónde está la «c»?
