When a multithreaded lisp is the primary HTTP server, this is not a problem
as the lisp
is already running. The issue becomes robustness and reliablility of the
Lisp itself.
I expect that we will see CL-HTTP running under UNIX-based Lisps as the vendors
bring their networking and threading upto the level required for robust
HTTP service.

We have created www-cl@ai.mit.edu for discussion of any Common Lisp and Web
issues.
Why not carry on your CGI discussion there?

Once we get such a crowd talking about Lisp and the Web, we can spawn
sublists. :-)
