If projection queries are automatic, then the code has to do a really good job of recognizing valid projection queries and reverting to standard queries when a projection won't work (rather than raising an exception or returning no records). Otherwise, projections queries should just be an option (not the default), and we can leave it up to the developer to ensure the query is a valid one. Anthony
