Good!

Sam, are you aware of
<fsbot> lisppaste.el -- [0] the Emacs interface for lisppaste
<fsbot> [1] get it at http://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/~p0198183/lisppaste.el
<fsbot> [2] it needs this patch to xml-rpc.el : http://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/~p0198183/xml-rpc.el.patch

Also, 
<fsbot> http-emacs is like, [0] includes http-post and http-get which allows you to fetch, render and post html pages via emacs. It also includes simple-wiki-* modules, which allow you to edit remote (and local) wikis via emacs, and also includes a major-mode for the same.
<fsbot> [1] See also SimpleWikiEditMode ..[Type ,more]
<anaran> ,more
<fsbot>  [2] at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/http-emacs/
<fsbot> [3] at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SimpleWikiEditMode
<fsbot> [4] See also mozex and electrix
<fsbot> [5] See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3AText_editor_support
might be relevant.
I would like to add jspwiki support to http-emacs (probably using
xml-rpc as well), just because I want to use XEmacs for contributing
to a internal jspwiki at work.

Some of this functionality might even be useful in core to rework our
baroque package system download mechanism (requiring dired, and efs,
and xemacs-base) with a slim http-get.

Now might be the time to discuss this.

Yeah, let's avoid apel if at all possible.
