That's an interesting point. We have two levels here that are crossing 
over and confusing people:

* starting applications in your OS. Of course in some cases someone 
*else* might be running the server in which case you won't have to do this.

* web applications. In many cases someone else is running the web 
application for you so you don't see these either, except as URL.

Basically we have "applications in an application". We could call the 
outer application "application server" to avoid this confusion. An 
application server can run one or more grok.Applications.

I'm not sure how WSGI app fits in this. Could you elaborate?
