Great, I'll check it out.

Yes, that HTML generation code does look awfully familiar...
How close is it under the hood to what Seaside does?  Do you have any
refinements to the approach that we could steal?

Looks good.  I like the way you do folders (although it seems like a
folder might want some content of its own as well as children), and the
plugin stuff looks cool.

What do you think of Swazoo?  Anything that would be good to add to either
Comanche or Seaside?
