Kristoffer,
Your project reminds me of another project someone else is doing using TCL, which tries to emulate the way Ruby-on-Rails works. It also claims simplicity and ease of use. The trouble is that in order to start using it one has to learn Ruby-on-Rails first.
With your project people need to learn what MVC is, how it works etc. I tried to look at your examples and I could not understand at all how it works. I suspect that there is prior knowledge of other things required to grasp what you are trying to accomplish. And your assumption is that most people already have that knowledge. I don't know about others, but I probably don't have that knowledge, although I understand the http/html very well.
My suggestion is that you provide very simple examples that explain what each example does (what/how/why).
Thanks and good luck with your project.

I've grown to hate all the web frameworks I've used (non-Tcl), and
OpenACS was always impenetrable for me, so I decided to create one
that reflects how I think a framework should operate. It's very early
development stuff, but it works and has some hopefully intriguing
ideas. And yes, it's all XOTcl. Check it out:
