I think this is very useful. The web stack is a bit lacking in documentation, so this is great. Maybe flesh out the doucumentation a bit, explaining the usage of the morsel/meddle/mustache API's in this code. And possibly host the documentation separately on bitbucket-pages.
I think it would be good to link to this from the JuliaWebStack docs.
