There seems to be a demand for dynamic per-request configuration,

a programming language. Result: confused and frustrated users.
This is what I had in mind when I suggested having <Lua> blocks of code. No
need to invent a new language when a perfectly fine one exists...
FWIW, it's done with <Perl> blocks too (I do some funky things that
way), BUT I'm not sure if those are parsed per-request as I think Nick
is suggesting. Also, many times people don't want to bloat their
processes with a fully-fleged interpreter (again, I'm building on my
mod_perl experience here - I know that the shared Perl objects are
pretty clunky, and not sure if mod_wombat looks the same).
Right now it doesn't look like I'll be in Amsterdam...
