---------------
The publisher also marshals arguments from CGI environment
variables and cookies. When locating arguments, the publisher
first looks in CGI environment variables, then other request
variables, then form data, and finally cookies. Once a variable
is found, no further searching is done. So for example, if your
published object expects to be called with a form variable named
'SERVER_URL', it will fail, since this argument will be
marshaled from the CGI environment first, before the form data.

Could readers find the use of the term 'fail' somewhat confusing here? I'm guessing that the 'published
onject' will still get called OK, but that the value of the 'SERVER_URL' argument would be other than that
expected?
