I am not necessarily going as far as auto-generating forms (people like
to customize them anyway), but both Maypole and my framework always
suppose you are dealing with an object of class A with id X, not with
just arbitrary URLs. (ID can be null, of course.) Plus, I also have an
application name as a required parameter, which lets me use one script
as a front-end for all my applications. I wonder how I would separate
applications in Maypole.

Terrorism is a tactic and so to declare war on terrorism is equivalent to Roosevelt's declaring war on blitzkrieg.
