I got a good laugh out of that myself.

I guess that brings up a point worth discussion. I obviously *could* produce
a stripped down, simpler XML file. I don't know how simple it would be, but
it seems obvious to me that making the RequestMap "simpler" wouldn't work
all that well, so that probably would stay the same.

Probably it would be a new format that externalizes a lot of what's usually
left unchanged now into separate files or defaults them. I already did that
for the SecurityPolicies section, in fact, for the "main" config.

So...is that better? My impression is that XML has been the problem. If it's
just *my* XML that's the problem, then I can look at that option instead.
It's certainly less work for me, no question.
