Thanks for the historical links!

Quite interesting, particularly http://wayback.archive.org/web/20150827182315/http://www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/~ptw/teaching/ssd/slide11.html. This seems like it would be relatively straightforward to support using $1, $2, $3, etc. in place of the &1, &2, &3, etc. references. However, it would loose the class restoration semantics incorporated into cycler.js.

We have mucked around a good bit with serialization and restoration semantics and cycle.js gave us the inspiration for the approach used in cycler.js. This is the most elegant and least intrusive method we have found to date. Is anyone aware of another method not tied to a specific database or schema definition mechanism?
