This is a vestige of an older Lift design that, every time I try to remove it, someone gets cranky. So... it stays there and can generally be ignored unless you're using a particular idiom for building REST/web services. > > > 3.

If your snippet implements DispatchSnippet, you have greater control over how the snippet gets mapped. This will become officially recommended pretty soon. > > > 4.
