It is really good idea I think. I agree with you that current state is not perfect and I would prefer the second solution. The difference between them is not big and maybe that we will mix them somehow. Please, can you fill RFE in iSsuezilla (assign it to me :-) ). We are going to gather list of new features for web-related modules soon and it would be good to have it there. -Radim
