   Anyway, I attach my work in progress, for the sake of soliciting any
   comments that people may have, as a patch against 2.27.  Please note
   that I'm not necessarily proposing _everything_ here for incorporation
   into guile-www - e.g. I think my (ossau template) module might fit
   better elsewhere - but I've included everything in the patch that's
   needed for a complete example.

Yeah, i agree the templating belongs in the higher layers (else i would have
polluted Guile-WWW w/ (ttn-do zzz xhtml-tree) by now).

After a quick skim of the patch, it seems to me the core modlisp support is
rather straightforward.  I like how you extended `big-dishing-loop'.  Perhaps
that can be pushed out even further so that the (Guile-WWW) user can define
other protocols.  We would run the danger of stepping on serveez's toes, but
maybe that project won't mind so much...

On the subject of expansions and contractions (as they relate to Guile-WWW),
i've been thinking of moving the repo to savannah and looking for a co- (or
perhaps replacement) maintainer, to ensure its longevity and encourage mixing
w/ other code.  I foresee my interest in it fading, and it deserves better.

Since we are in related communication, i crassly exploit the opportunity to
ask directly: Would you like to take over Guile-WWW maintenance?
