As stated in previous email, there seem to be a few dependencies elsewhere in
MKDoc that make using different package names for authentication difficult. So
maybe integrating some magic now would be a good idea.

I've been using my own home-grown web-app framework for about 5 years. It has
become pretty advanced and comprehensive over that time, but it has also
become complex. There are a few similar concepts in my framework and MKDoc
which is one of the reasons I'm drawn to it. There are some features which I
think are missing from MKDoc. I'm sure I'll mention them in the future.

I'm a bit slow on the terminology here. What do you mean by REST-ful?
