Perhaps. WebStack originally took some inspiration from Webware and the Java Servlet API, but I think that the "vocabulary" is pretty standard, so it isn't necessarily that difficult to map WebStack API methods to framework methods. Quixote and CherryPy may have similar abstractions, but unlike most of the frameworks supported by WebStack, these frameworks impose various constraints (object publishing and template-orientation) that seemingly make it impractical to support them in an API at WebStack's level.
