: First Ryan, thank you for your patience on this *very* long hash I could not agree more ... as i was leaving work this afternoon, it occured to me "I really hope Ryan realizes i like all of his ideas, i'm just wondering if they can be better" -- most people I work with don't have the stamina to deal with my design reviews :)
What occured to me as i was *getting* home was that since I seem to be the only one that's (overly) worried about the RequestParser/HTTP abstraction -- and since i haven't managed to convince Ryan after all of my badgering -- it's probably just me being paranoid. I think in general, the approach you've outlined should work great -- i'll reply to some of your more recent comments directly. -Hoss
