Wolfgang,

I think that what you suggest is too much for the moment and I think it  
even contains the Zope 3 risk of trying to get everything right. I have  
the feeling that getting things right is going to take a lot more  
head-scratching and beard-pulling!

Tres' proposal has the not inconsiderable advantage of merging work  
already done. You are right to point out inconsistencies and warts but  
against that should be weighed the possibility of making a port to Python  
3.x a real possibility. And, given that the work has come from an external  
if related project, the main aim of exposing these libraries to the wider  
world has been achieved.

So from +1 for Tres proposal and +1 for a roadmap on this.

Regarding Withers suggestion - should we be looking to move these  
libraries to the WSGI namespace? Or are there real use cases outside the  
web world?
