I didn't find the "pluggable primitives framework" in the browser; can you
point me to them?
The Unix AE is quite complex, and was not free of some "security" problems.
I'll look at the pluggable primitive framework and then be in a better
position to evaluate whether AE is appropriate.

Yes, but the AE API is not very user (programmer) friendly. It carries a
lot of baggage to support the AE object model. Perhaps what we did
previously can be paired down.
