Silverlight support for CSLA LINQ (Indexing)

I was just wondering if there are any plans to try and make indexing available in Silverlight.  I know the C5 implemention for Silverlight doesn't exist but how difficult is it to swap out the C5 RedBlackTree for a Silverlight compatible tree sorting algorithm?

Without saying it is simple or not, but is it as straightforward as implementing the appropriate CSLA interfaces on top of a different algorithm?  (IIndex ?).  I know Aaron did all the existing work in his free time so I was curious where things sat.

There is a gentleman from the MS Silverlight team who released an implementation of a Left Leaning RedBlack tree that is used in the WPF/Silverlight Data Visualization toolkit for charting.

C1 components is also toting a LiveLinq product (not yet Silverlight) that looks very similar to CSLA LinqBindingList.

I'm finding more and more I'm using LINQ and I think I could really improve my application and DAL by reading in simpler data sets and using LINQ to provide more views to the application.  The InventoryDemo really opened my eyes to almost having a 2 stage DAL with LINQ to CSLA sitting on top of my Oracle implementation.  Anyhow having indexing at the client would obviously dramatically improve on that.

Actually there are two issues here ... the LinqBindingList and the indexing.  Can you have one without the other?  Can you tie into the new CollectionViewSource?
