I will try to spend some time working on a simple app. It will help
(force;) me to dig into the code further. I might even take a swing at
some of the stuff on the bacfug site.

I am not sure Modus should handle these things. It seems that it is
built specifically for content management. At least at the moment. Maybe
it is worth generalizing some of the components. I was thinking mostly
of the persister. Does it make sense to have a basePersister on the same
level as the baseContentObject? 

I think a "page wrapper" could be nice. This could probably take on any
number of definitions. From serving up headers and footers to a file
naming convention or request mapper and probably into a framework. And a
framework might include some security. I suppose the sky is the limit.
Hehe, that isn't much of an answer. If it makes any difference, I plan
on giving my input at the very least, and eventually contributing some
code or maybe documentation.
