Respectfully, I think that's not at all what he wants ;)
I think (correct me if I'm wrong) he's wondering is Orion is going to have
it's OWN ISAPI or NSAPI so others can write plugins for the server.
I think supporting Apache plugins would be a good idea, perhaps adopting
their API but many things that can be done with Apache plugins can just as
easily be written as a servlet. (Albeit not an HTTPServlet)
Orion being able to be plugged into _another_ webserver as the JSP / Servlet
engine is another issue (one I know you've asked about before ;)). There is
an inhouse development copy running as a plugin to IIS but I think this
functionality is being left for the 1.0 or after version, there are more
important things that need to be done first.
If any of this is wrong, someone feel free to correct me ;)
