Your assessment of FastCGI is on, but it's not that difficult to get
the validation/unmarshalling that you want out of a little work with
Read/Show, since the flow would be something like this on every pass:

bag of name/value pairs -> Haskell structure -> IO (e.g., to db) -> Html

The HAppS approach to laying out URL space is nice, and I whipped up
something relatively ugly but quick using Parsec.
