It's something I am working on. Was actually working on earlier today.
By sheer coincidence, it was because of HttpSession access that I was
doing it.
I don't think it will be a big deal, but as it's something core, we need
to bash it around a bit. So I assume that would be something we do with
a 1.1.x or 1.2 release.
I think this is very important and isn't being ignored - but there are a
few people relying on the features we have added since 1.0, namely the
internationalization via encoding and the event cartridge stuff, so we
shouldn't hold it up.
Since I believe that smaller, incremental releases are a good thing, I
would be 100% behind getting another release out there with this as soon
as we are sure things are good.
