At the risk of sounding like a negative-nancy the problem he is fixing is the artificial impedance mismatch that was constructed ON PURPOSE by Ian Bicking when he created WSGI.

Composability is one of the most powerful concepts we have. WSGI wasn't mistake-proofing middle-ware by making the protocols different, he was breaking composability that is now being fixed by Kenneth et al.

Thank You! But let us not allow these mistakes to be made again.

Philip J. Eby was the author of WSGI, not myself. But which mismatches are you referring to? I've frequently heard these complaints, but generally they are fairly obscure things (which are hard to resolve because we can't form a quorum of people who actually care), and a lot of vague FUD.

I think you may not know as much about WSGI as you think... like, say, who originally created it.
