There were several versions with useful changes that were derived  
from this branch, but which couldn't be merged into the mainline  
without resolving the WAUrl issues.  I've gone back and cherry picked  
these changes and started a clean branch that has them but none of  
the WAAnchorTag changes that were causing problems.  I've named it  
Seaside2.6a3.  I suggest that people committing new versions use that  
as the base.  (It also includes the streamed response hack from  
earlier today, because I don't think that has any ill effects if you  
use WAKom).
