The point of technology preview is exactly that - preview. Whether you perform full evaluation (which we would prefer), or just have a quick look into the code and concepts, your comments are welcome and appreciated.

We have something similar in mind, as we also use custom code: the HTTPS interface with mod_perl. We would like to compare the two approaches.
