Cool. From what I've heard, the entire TC developer community is behind you 
100%. Hell, even Costin agrees with you ... now *that's* truly a red letter day

That sucks, bro. I empathize. I don't know that much about Turbine, to be 
honest, but would my proposed change to respecting the HTML spec for static 
content help out with the second case above? I know it's not really static, but 
if it's outside of the explicit servlet area, would it fall under the auspices 
of the servlet behavior or the static behavior? Or am I just reaching for a 
loophole? :)
