I still hope this can go in; it will help web framework authors do the right thing long term.

I doubt I'll have time to write documentation for it before alpha 3. If it's okay for the docs to wait for one of the beta releases -- or better yet, if someone could volunteer to create rough draft documentation that I could just then edit -- then it shouldn't be a problem getting it in and integrated.

However, just to avoid the sort of thing that happened with setuptools, I would suggest, Guido, that you make a last call for objections on the Web-SIG, which has previously voiced more criticism of wsgiref than the Distutils-SIG ever had about setuptools. Granted, most of the Web-SIG comments were essentially feature requests, but some complained about the presence of the handler framework. Anyway, after the setuptools flap I'm a little shy of checking in a new library without a little more visible process. :)
