Perhaps they're not very interesting, but that seems the only level that
could be feasibly standardized.

I'm willing to host a mailing list for web discussion on my DSL-connected
machine.  That might be easier than jumping through the SIG hoops.  If
you're interested, just suggest a name ('web'?) for the list and I'll create
it.  I can't do CVS, but maybe we could just use a sandbox/ directory in the
Python CVS tree.

Yes, but usually those areas of duplication don't actually require a lot of
maintenance effort after the initial implementation.  We're four months into
2003, and Quixote's HTTPRequest and Response haven't had a significant
change yet.  The changes have all been to higher-level things like the
publishing logic.
