Has anyone talked about devolving title, body(for nodes) and mail and name for users into fields

One reason for this would be to have mail and name be non-unique if a setup called for that. See this comment.

If anyone has discussed this somewhere let me know?

Body as field is ongoing : http://drupal.org/node/372743.

The other ones haven't been started (yet ?). I think people wait to see how well a first 'X as field' conversion goes.

Thanks

Thanks for the reference, been hard to find details around this. I would love to see some others weigh in on this as a concept.
