Well you summarized it pretty good in your open source vs. commercial
software rant ;)
I think there are plans for a student project that aims for a complete rewrite.

Place a halt in the code ;)
the starting point is #enterSessionWithRequest:
#createRootFromRequest: creates the component and selects the project
if the url ends with .html. There you could do more things like
depending on the url like displaying classes and urls.
You will probably also have to adjust #wantsSessionForRequest: and friends.

Generating restful links (that can be bookmarked) with Seaside 2.3 is
a whole different issue.
