I don't know that there's a conceptual benefit (though the same could be 
said of any Relationship, I guess).  I'm wondering, though, if wrapping 
into a module the four-or-so triggers necessary to manage this sort of 
transformation would have a practical benefit for new users (easier to 
understand) and more experienced users (code reuse).  I'm willing to be 
convinced either way, though.
