John,

thanks for your interest. 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.
