[web-devel] Last call for comments: WAI 0.4

[Christian Maeder]

I skimmed through it (I'm still using wai-extra-0.2.4.2)

There's not much code left to comment on. I'll have to get used to the 
new Response data type, though.

I'm sort of shocked by the many dependencies (already via http-types) on
blaze-builder, text, case-insensitive and (really unnecessarily) on 
base-unicode-symbols.

So I'll rather expect problems in dependent packages than in wai.

Thanks for your work!

Cheers Christian
