Simon - These are GREAT!!! Ideas. The regular expression based URL dispatching replacement has been something I personally have been thinking about for some time. I would be interested in helping with this If you put together a proposal. One URL implementation worth considering is "Routes" ( http://routes.groovie.org ). I have used Routes for web applications and I think it is easy to grok. Have you taken a look at Routes?
