I looked at this and I have the impression that it tries to do
something worthwhile, but I can't tell precisely what.  The "rationale
and goals" section explains good reasons why it doesn't do various
certain things.  What's not explained is what DOES it do.  The only
thing I can tell is that it connects to an abstracted web server, and
builds up what looks like traditional CGI variables from the incoming
requests.
