This is a nice paper. Marc, I think you're a little too hard on your
24-year old self. To have created the weave at the age of 24 indicates
(to me) that you were certainly a well above average programmer /
computer scientist.  Many of the other things you criticize could be
attributed to simply not knowing better (= not having yet had enough
experience).

My two cents, anyway.  Again, a nice paper.
