Sounds good. I'm working on the Snippet spec, so we can collaborate
on having your application project as a test case with the spec.

What I'd do instead is write the functionalities into some
PHP objects, that each get a Snippet.
Then call these snippets from your Midgard pages something
like:
mgd_include_snippet("/path/to/Snippet");
$article = New Snippet($argv[0]);

Yes, Repligard can work with specific object trees now.
Please talk to Alan Knowles on this one.

Yes.
