After being called on my boast ;), I realized it's a bit trickier than I'd
originally thought to do it in a non-Web-server-specific way.

Having publisher index itself by root_namespace would be the simplest, I
think; then for each request, decide which publisher should be returned by
get_publisher().

You could even write a wrapper around quixote that set _publisher according
to the URL being used before calling publish().  Ugly, and clearly not
something that Quixote was designed for .
