Agreed, but Macromedia could have supplied protocol handlers without
building an event gateway. Instead, they went and built a framework that
constrains what an event gateway is and can do. That could be a really good
thing or it could be a really bad thing. Time will tell, but so far
frameworks have always been done better in the community.

What is managed exactly? If it is anything like the web service "management"
you find now then no thanks.
