Indeed it would.  Will it be possible to add new handlers from guile?  I can
think of *some* sites would be useful to have .laml files, too, but if they
have to be some sort of .guile, that's no big problem.

We seem to have a function unspecified? returning a boolean.

I prefer #f, but someone here will probably now educate me as to the folly
of my ways.

No, please. ;-)

Oh whoops.  I thought you only needed the :out &c lines when you were
including executable code.  I just assumed there was a .hb handler where I'd
write it as

<html><body><hb:header.title name="foobar" /></body></html>

I'm now slightly worried about HB because of the code you showed me... :-/

The benchmarks don't look as bad as I'd've thought and hopefully hb's httpd
should improve things a bit more.

Thanks,
