Hi,

I had a brief look over the toolkit -- I don't currently have a need for
this, so only a brief look. One comment I would make is that you use the
namespace "::tk" for your toolkit, which also happens to be the
namespace used by, um, Tk (the GUI toolkit). You might want to consider
changing that to avoid any possible name clashes.

Also, I didn't see any kind of immediately obvious license agreement
either on the website or in the tar file. Is this BSD licensed (like
Tcl), or commercial/shareware or ... ?

It looks like you have some interesting stuff in there. Would it be
worth considering submitting parts of it to tcllib to complement/enhance
the existing ncgi/html etc packages?
