Thanks Todd. I think one of the main attractions of PSHB is that it sidesteps almost all questions of state management. It would be good to be able to 'plug in' different kinds of state managing actors, either in the middle points, or at the endpoints. Working out just what is and isn't doable here, is kind of a head spinning activity ...! alexis
