Thanks a lot for this description.  Someone (maybe you if you're feeling 
generous, or someone else if they'd like to volunteer) should take most of the 
prose from this post, edit it a little bit to fit into the flow, and use it to 
expand the somewhat bare explanation of these concepts in 
<http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/amp.html>.

It would also be nice if someone could find a link to the tickets for this 
functionality - or, file one, if none exist.

Again, thanks a lot for the great explanation, JP.
