As a small side comment. The link below has somewhat equivalent examples that still do much more with a lot less code. They don't solve the extensibility problem. And they harder to understand. But if the problem is much larger it may pay off.

Object Algebras seems interesting, but doing some research on the internet I've found some critique of it. Are the critiques about it justified?

I used to love InfoQ. Now, I just hate, hate, hate infoq. Unfortunately, the content creators are still, somehow, not aware of InfoQ's irresponsible use of FLASH. So ... we're all SCREWED by proprietare/payware CRAP. Get a clue. WBEM. MP4. Anything is better than these broken videos ... absent slides ... etc. InfoQ has become nothing but a frustrating tease!
Furious,
Steffen.
