Obviously the size of the book has become a bit of a concern (not to me but I'm sure there are practical concerns). There are also limitations to just how much punishment Rocky can take, too. (At least, I think so.)
A thought crossed my mind that perhaps you might consider doing two books, probably slightly larger than the single book when put together.
Book 1 would be a thorough walkthrough of the framework. Obviously you're finding limitations to just how much you can embelish and explain within the confines of a set # of pages for this portion. This might allow for a full and complete description of the framework. (Chaps 1-5)
Book 2 would be the application/usage of the framework. (Chaps 6 on). -- Having a separate book might allow for you to not worry about cutting out such vital things as WinForms/WebForms, etc and allow the covering of things that are important but might be subject to removal for space reasons.
So kind of a:
Expert C# 2008 Business Object Framework and
Expert C# 2008 Business Object Applications
Just a thought -- probably a highly impractical thought but a thought nonetheless.

Like the idea too of having two books.
