Hi Greg,

Seaside is focused entirely on dynamic pages.  A very small part of it
(like the WAHtmlBuilder) might be reusable for a system that generated
static pages, but in general that's a completely different use case
than Seaside was designed for, and would require a different
framework.  I've occasionally thought about starting to write
something like that, but haven't yet done anything much in that
direction.
