Seaside versus HttpView 2 for non-HTML output

I think it may be worth noting that Seaside 2.9 Alpha 4 took about 10 hours of conversion and debugging to generate a single page of nn-XML and non-HTML content using ints Builder  and rendering framework (i.e. not plain-text output, but a working "counter" demo apl

I also took about 10 hours to achieve the same in HttpView2 (both on the same Squeal 3.10.2 base )

The problems in HttpView2 may appear obvious: at least one problem in Seaside was not obvious ( preferences dict in configuration of WAEntry Point )
