CouchDB is really similar to what you describe. It's not out of alpha
yet, but it beats the pants off writing your own. In fact, if I were
starting a greenfield project I'd choose it over AR with an rdbms in a
lot of situations even if I hadn't just lost an argument. There are
efforts going on to integrate it into AR. Your efforts would be far
better spent on improving that than rolling your own solution.
