What larger effort are we looking for here? I mean, there are plenty of 
WSGI server implementations around:

http://www.wsgi.org/wsgi/Servers

It may be that none of these is suitable for our purposes, but it seems 
to be an active area of development. That by itself makes it attractive.

I myself hooked Zope up to the CherryPy WSGI server before. I haven't 
spent any time yet to figure out whether that works well. I do know that 
the CherryPy people spent quite a bit of time getting their WSGI server 
up to speed.
