Good stuff. And very similar to what I had in mind. I'd say more but feel this should be a separate topic.

I also need language functionality. I'm thinking pretty differently about language constants (like an "are you sure?" prompt in five langages) versus Settings/Registry/Config settings (e.g., user key and secret key for a CDN or cloud gateway).

This model for settings that uses a database certainly lends itself well to this kind of convenient interface.

If these values must be decrypted on the server, then the key to access them must also. I'm wondering why you recommend this? It would surely cause a performance penalty if commonly used values must be decrypted for each page access?
