But I think the way it operated was sound: a request was fired off, and the caller basically forgot about it. When responses arrived, a handler was created and the handled results were put in their right place, or errors where created, and displayed in an "error place" (eg. a log or an error window or the minibuffer or whatever). But handling pipelinging means being more intimate with the TCP connection than you probably plan to be...?
