Gustaf: I agree that a request processor mechanism which handles all types of request (not just URLs via HTTP) might be nice. Although I would like to see us be explicit about the differences between these channels of interaction, not just the similarities.
Malte: I agree that this architectural thinking should not stop work which you are clearly willing to do in the immediate future. I don't think an architectural change should affect current work until it has been proposed, demonstrated, agreed and resourced (usually in that order).
