Thank you Jacques, the document is really interesting because it describes the early design and confirms my understandings after the research/review/refactoring I recently did, which brought up the questions/proposals we are discussing now. I would like to mention that my refactoring simplified greatly the implementation (that was a bit messed up, as it is rather natural, after years of modifications) but it didn't change the concepts described there... it actually makes the code closer to them because it is easier to read it. However, as part of the refactoring, I also got rid of a few old and never used features that are still documented in the document; for example: * "The DispatchContext [...] contains [...] a 'bag' of user defined attributes." this feature is no more available. In general there are other details about it that are no more accurate (not because of my refactoring); for example it is not true that the DispatchContext holds a reference to a delegator Should we update the document to reflect the recent changes? Kind regards, Jacopo
