The only other things which might not be obvious here.  Changes to
twisted.web should be backwards compatible so that existing twisted.web
applications continue to work without being modified.  Implementing
what I've described above without regard for backwards compatibility  would
probably mean subjecting existing applications to two things:

You lost me here.  First you say that changes to twisted.web should be
backwards-compatible, then you go on to describe how to do things in
a non-compatible manner.  I don't have a preference regarding the
issue of compatibility, but I'm not clear as to whether you do.

Oops :)  To clarify, when this is implemented, it should be implemented in
a way which _is_ backwards compatible.

FWIW, what I described doesn't resemble the support for this  functionality
in web2 at all, I think.

True, and I'm somewhat surprised, given the work currently going on
with web2.  Isn't dialtone's consumer/producer oriented stream stuff
going to be "the way" to do this sort of thing?  Does twisted.web
have to approach it differently, due to design constraints?

Fitting this into twisted.web with an API similar to that of twisted.web2
would be more challenging.  It might be possible though.  Perhaps one of
the web2 developers can comment on that in more detail.
