As I've been implementing the XML bindings, I realized that yes, you
could make the SQL bindings take a table-name.  So, yes, this would
work.  In fact, I wound up doing something like this for the XML
extensions, to define the XML tag for each object.

The way I've architected the backend-extensions, each backend defines
it's own extension structure.  Therefore, each backend can require
whatever data and methods is needs.  This also means that I didn't
have to make any assumption about a generic backend extension.
