I actually think a minor revision to WSGI should be issued immediately, the only change being that readline(size) is required to be implemented by servers/gateways, and bumping the rev number to 1.1. Leaving the spec as it is is basically a lie. You cannot implement a WSGI server now, without implementing readline(size) and expect apps to work. Adding this is a completely backwards compatible change, and is probably already implemented in most (all?) servers, so it shouldn't be controversial.
