Completely getting rid of containerField will require changes, at least 
around Collision.proxy and MetadataSet.value definitions. Right now, 
using these fields requires you to use containerField, as you put there 
nodes that in other circumstances are attached to different fields. 
Getting rid of containerField will probably require inventing some new 
nodes to make things unambiguous even without containerField.

BTW, I completely agree, I'm all after getting rid of containerField. 
But I guess this was already discussed, that's why Don didn't want us to 
get him started on that :)
