I can confirm that implementing WSGI 2.0 is far more simple, however:
1) This is not an issue, since we already have many implementations
of WSGI 1.0: wsgiref, Twisted, Apache, Nginx, flup, ...
2) If you need to implement some extensions (like file_wrapper), then
the implementation is going to become more complex anyway.

Ok.
But I see no need to "invent" a new term (WSAI): the current
specification of WSGI is already good for async gateways/applications.
Is it really the best solution to split WSGI 1.0 into two separate
specifications?

If a specification explicitly requires the use of threads, then there is
something bad in it :).
Simply speaking: I want to avoid to use threads in Nginx.
They are not supported by the server.

Can you make an example? Thanks.
I'm not sure to understand you architecture.
