   SOPE looks to me like WebObjects plus lots of experience learned  
in the trenches brought back. That is, one of the things that always  
bothered me about WO is that it was missing that extra 5% that you  
learn doing big production sites. So better integration with the  
webserver, improved templating, etc.
