IIRC I once heard that net/http was not thread safe.
I mean MT handling is user's responsibility.

WEBrick + soaplet should have a concept of scope, request,
session and application.  For now soaplet has only an
application scope. *sigh*  Sorry for not mentioning it yet.
I'll add request scope soon.

Regarding session scope, I'm waiting for someone writing
lightweight session handling module for WEBrick.  Only a
session handling, not GUI specific.  Then all bricklets
can have a session scope.
