Maybe someday you and Mike Beane will put your heads together and author a paper on POCOWe could, though we'll be mobbed at the pass by people wanting to make a reputation by getting in early.
FWIW, things do change. Here's a nice article that mentions POCO but is among an increasing array of its type about datasets. Some of it applied to untyped versus typed, but it's relevant for both sorts. It even mentions nulls! Enjoy.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
