This might be a long shot, but those guys seem pretty open about how 
and why they did things.

I have Dominics book - and I haven't read it yet :) so I don't know if 
how to do journaling is in there, but if its not, I think that if you 
email them they would be glad to mail you back saying how and why they 
did things in the journaling code.

Just  a thought that may help you get the code more BeOS-like.
