I doubt I'll have time to write documentation for it before alpha 3.  If 
it's okay for the docs to wait for one of the beta releases -- or better 
yet, if someone could volunteer to create rough draft documentation that I 
could just then edit --  then it shouldn't be a problem getting it in and 
integrated.

However, just to avoid the sort of thing that happened with setuptools, I 
would suggest, Guido, that you make a last call for objections on the 
Web-SIG, which has previously voiced more criticism of wsgiref than the 
Distutils-SIG ever had about setuptools.  Granted, most of the Web-SIG 
comments were essentially feature requests, but some complained about the 
presence of the handler framework.  Anyway, after the setuptools flap I'm a 
little shy of checking in a new library without a little more visible 
process.  :)
