[Seaside] SqP - Design question

Well, to be honest, I haven't had time to look at the SBlogLite code 
yet.  And I do know Avi was playing with some new ideas and hacked them 
in.  But I think he was happy with the direction and was planning on 
using some of the lessons learned to improve the URL dispatch stuff in 
Seaside.

The development branch of seaside has been refactored to greatly 
simplify the path a request takes coming into the system and the process 
for handling a URL that doesn't represent an existing session (such as a 
bookmarked URL).

Not that this helps you much since it's still on the -dev branch.  I got 
the branch running at work with little trouble, though Andrew has since 
told me he had some weirdness with it, so it's not quite ready for prime 
time.

BUT, I am basically on holidays now, so I am more than happy to pull up 
the SBlogLite code and have a look at it, or to have a look at your 
stuff, Cees - I certainly have a pretty good idea what is considered 
"Good Seaside Design".  I'm off to bed now but if you want to send me 
anything to look at or chat on email or IRC or something tomorrow, let 
me know.
