Russ and Justin Thank you for your replies. I had not tried the older syntax but I'm glad to see it works. I am generalizing an app I created that lets one add location information to one's models and provides basic facilities for regional and/or distance based searching. Generic relations is the icing on the cake since any arbitrary model in one's app could then relate to my Location model without introducing any coupling between the apps. I'll wait for the dust to settle and release to the community :)
