An approach like this was discussed on this list a couple of years ago, and Rob Mayoff had particular suggestions for handling namespaces. At the time, if I recall, some AOLserver mods were necessary to support proper handlikng of namespaces, but those are probably obsolete now. Also, at the time, Jim felt the approach was not necessary for AOL, so it didn't make it into the default thread initialization. The old notes are probably in the list archives.
