re: build a boat that will work in the tidepools...
Eric, I applaude your statement of intent. Great choice and I hope that I can contribute in this effort.
I am working on what is titled the DKR Specification to fulfill one of Doug's current_priorities.html request. The OHS and DKR must share a special interface that makes it easy for the collaborator to interact with individual information items - as well as with categories and groups and topics of interactive multimedia information items and other colaborators and practically any structural organization and reorganization the user or set of users wishes to suggest for convenience, and interface with other DKRs, in real time, error-free (meaning it must never damage the DKR).
Part of the interface requirement is simply the ability to search, present, manipulate and submit any 'legal' information item. Another is to be able to navigate uisng the DKR internal node map.
To make it easy on the OHS, I suggest that the DKR formally adopt the intent to support (and maybe lead in area(s) to be explored) the W3C XML and related recommendations. At this point this means considering up to and including DOM Level 3. This lets you know right now that you are dealing with latest and greatest XML/DOM/Schema/XSLT/ECMA/ISO (let;s make a good list) technologies which are likely to be supported by open standards implementations. I would hope that this would certainly give you the best and richest base to hack from.
