	Having it speak HTTP isn't so bad itself, it's just that it's a steep  
cliff over a bottomless pit so that you fall pretty quickly, but die  
of starvation before ever reaching the end.

	By that, I mean it'd end up going the way of every other web server  
very quickly.  It's neat that you can access stuff via HTTP, and it's  
pretty good, so I'll have it outward facing.  Then people start asking  
about access controls, logging, proxying so it can self-seed or maybe  
read from files.  Next thing you know you've got SSL and webdav support.

	I'm sort of in the don't-care-either-way camp, but I don't have  
interest in working on it.
