Where would being able to change bindings (not just their objects) fit into
this? (see earlier bug/feature request/discussion)

Perhaps such a big change should be 2.1 or even 3.0?  This is a separate
issue but it'd be nice to have some sort of system behind the version
numbering.  Perhaps something like +0.0.1 for bug fixes, +0.1 for minor API
changes, and +1.0 for major API/design changes.  Any thoughts?

Another thought here, is that perhaps such a big change like this would also
be a good time to change the package names away from com.primix?  Go all the
way - break everything!  How about org.sabertooth.tapestry instead?  For
some reason I prefer that to net.sf.tapestry...
