I did actually do some sort-of-related work in this area, which I

An audience member mentioned the Smalltalk and Scheme-based work on web
continuation frameworks, and I was sorry my answer at the time seemed
unduly dismissive.
That was me, actually. I remain surprised that there isn't a move
afoot either to implement something like Seaside or Borges in Python
or to adapt one of the existing web frameworks to be
modal/continuation style.
Ah, glad to make your acquaintance again - I lost your email address in
a disk crash shortly after PyCon DC 2004.

There are some interesting similarities, and though
my own implementation is decidedly clunky I like to think the paper
explains some of the advantages of maintaining state and why the "back"
button is an obnoxious anachronism :-)
I'd still like to publish a piece on XML.com about modal web app
style, preferably with a Python example, though Borges would be fine.
Would an adaptation of the PyCon paper be any use in this context?
regards
Steve
