I remember some time ago Andrus saying that he'd like to merge
PersistentObject and CayenneDataObject one day. Doing so would
certainly help a lot to share code between client and server. For
instance in our project we have a lot of duplicate code for entity
validation - since we want to run validation on the client without a
round trip to the server. But of course we still need to have it on
the server.

I don't think so. There is just no overlap in the class hierarchy. At
the moment in the few places we managed to share some code between
client and server we have done it through interfaces.
