I am on the seaside list, skimming it for Kom or HV related stuff :).
But I don't view Seaside as "competition" (I know you were just kidding)
because the frameworks have very different "philosophies" and thus
different strengths. HttpView is meant to be shallow and easily
hackable.

Anyway, I think this sounds interesting and I will help in any way I
can. First of all I have some fixes to HV lined up that I should
release, no big deals though. Secondly, if you are wondering about
anything, just email or ask on IRC.

Also, I should revisit the HTML generation and perhaps re-merge with
Seaside - are you interested in having a common layer there Avi? I think
I have asked you before, but I know you are as busy as I am. :)
