Unfortunately, I wasn't aiming the exclusions at the user - more for
Spindle. I agree that it should "just work" - and up until Tapestry
became "ultimately configurable" it seemed as though it did (99% of the
time anyway ;-) ). What I was looking at was a possibility of Spindle
doing recursive searches down a hierarchy and excluding any 'namespaces'
that have a library in them. Thus:

/WEB-INF/foo.application would include everything except
/WEB-INF/bar/** if there was a bar.library under /WEB-INF/bar

As for being on crack - well... you are working endless hours on the
taming of the shrew(d Tapestry configuration options), aren't you? :-)
[and yes, all work VERY MUCH appreciated]
