How would you, in an ideal world, see the API as being different with events or "better filtering"? Always best to start with the ideal and then make tradeoffs as needed. I actually think there are certain advantages to the decorator model, which is why I had started building up functionality in expose. (In fact, before TurboGears 0.5 there was a point where the dictionary->Kid/JSON functionality was in a filter). What's nice about it is that the method defines the functionality that you're exposing to the outside world. The decorator is basically the metadata about how you want to expose it. And it's all neatly kept together. Kevin
