There are some times when the standard normal form is a real pain, for example, and your data fits better as a document or a simple key-value. I mentioned one such instance for me here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1637903

I think you're making the common mistake of confusing relational databases with entity-relationship modeling.

I can't really figure out your foo example though, needs to be a bit more specific.
