I was thinking about doing some code for this, but I really don't think I'll 
have time for about two weeks. If I get time before then, I'll look at doing 
something to possibly contribute that fixes the problem from my perspective 
and provides a way to keep things "as they are" for those people who don't 
want to do it differently.

BTW, I would also *love* to see the request, response, and HTML output 
portions of CGI separated, at least conceptually. The main thing that I 
think I'd love to see separated is the HTML output stuff. I don't think that 
it really belongs in CGI at all.
