Yep, I contributed some fixes to the Wareweb unpack (in SVN) and now am hacking on TurboGears unpack. I stole the name for lack of better ideas (and thoughts of making TG unpack a bit more like Wareweb unpack).
I think it is probably a good idea to use Wareweb-style coercers instead of FormEncode validators in turbogears.unpack and would be willing to submit a patch if Kevin is interested in making the switch. Wareweb and Paste is awesome, I hope to do what I can to get TG using more of it! I have been kicking around the idea of porting CherryPy to Paste (as Ian has done with Webware) so we could run TurboGears completely on top of Paste and take advantage of all the great code Ian has in there (the debugging webcast on Ian's blog should convince anyone).
