I think I see. The goal is to get a clean interface and then bring in
the eventloops and modio stuff?

Sure.

The module framework is really kinda irrelevant (It abstracts the
dynamicness needed to add in the clientlets and register protocols etc -
so it's not a huge issue either way).

Its the filter code itself - the clientlets - that was the difficult
thing to get ironed out. The reason I've been drilling into this is to
try and minise the rework needed to leverage that time-investment :].

As in get the broker to store the objects? Ok.

I'll bring rbcollins over to content processing this weekend. Promise :]
