        It looks extremely pleasant to me - good work.

        This is nice; '!' is currently the 'Item' moniker which is used   
for traversing the ItemContainer hierarchy.

        I suggest that we tack this onto the end - perhaps as an extender
for the '!' moniker, such that if it is not possible to retreive and
ItemContainer from the parent, we grab a PropertyBag instead and apply the
string section as properties instead using your code.

        How does that sound ? are you interested in hacking that up inside
libbonobo/monikers ? I'm a bit short of time, but it's a really nice
feature.
  
        Regards,
  
                Michael.
