This is basicly the approach I would take. The system should have a surface simplicity for the user which needs no more, but facilities available for the developer who needs fine grained control. Apologies that this comment does not help much in achieving that goal. However, I do have plans to look at your work in detail once a few moer items get taken care of. BTW, have you tried ASDF with GCL lately? I have a slightly hacked version which basicly works with 2.6.8pre in ANSI mode. In the sort term I hope to be switching my work to be based on 2.7.0 cvs, and I expect ASDF to be a fair bit more comfortable there. The notion of integrating cl-web with asdf is fantastic.
