Ok, this is clear now. Well, it is a good idea. I just have a bad
feeling to put everything in midgard what are not related. Moreover,
there will be about 5-20 parameters for each of articles (and there will
be tens of thousands of articles), and there are thousands of persons,
with similar number of params I suppose. I wonder what performance will
give the system if there are, say, a million rows in parameters table?
So, if I have the possibility to get out part of the data, I will
utilize it.

It is a solution if you are the content author. If there are another
companies who write the pages (say, an extended way of webhosting),
there is no way to use active pages for ordinary pages.

I think is is not much more work to implement a new user database than
work with mgd_auth_midgard etc. Instead of argv[] I can use the actual
URL. Even I can throw back a 401 Authentication Required response if I
want to log in the user.
