Sounds very good to me. :)

Simple is good.

I agree. This would especially be cool, if you can do it from a 
small device like a microcontroller!

To me, multiple threads are not important, because on simple 
microcontrollers, threads are usually not available. If one needs 
threads, some kind of operating system with a context-switcher is 
required.

I'd say "Simple is good". ;)

Could the extra bells and whistles be optional, eg. basic 
functionality in a base class (eh), and then a subclass provide 
some more dazzling implementation ?

Hmm. Personally I hate MIME, but I guess they're necessary. :P

Your work sounds very promising, I look forward to hearing more 
about your progress.

right (if I'm lucky), but I don't want to restrict you in any 
way. Other developers in here probably have some very good input 
on this as well.
