Right. That seems sensible.

Yes -- sorry... I guess I just don't know Quixote well enough
yet. (I was thinking along the lines of PHP etc., where you
don't have two different types of code like this.)

I'm sure you're right. I've just been working on some similar thing
in other frameworks (logic sheets for java/cocoon, similar processing
for php etc.)

I just didn't "get" the separation of concerns here properly,
which indeed suggests the possibility of implementing such a
filter as a part of your handler.
