While Ramaze is clearly based off ideas in Nitro (if not Nitro itself), 
I don't think it has quite the same approach to pipelining 
transformations and filtering.

It would be well worth looking at the essential differences between 
Ramaze and Nitro and considering if effort is better spent in adding 
Nitro aspects to Ramaze (either directly or as some sort of plugin).

If that's not feasible, then having Nitro spring back to life would be 
quite cool.

There's always been life before, during, and after Rails.  Ruby has had 
interesting Web development almost all along.  It just rarely got the 
attention it deserved.
