At this point I'll fail to comment on my flat text templatised process
and feature abstracted MHonArc+PHP archives.  The archive files are
fixed and do nothing but provide extracted data for a PHP rendering
model.  That rendering mode, as shared, can be trivially edited,
rewritten, re-abstracted, or replaced, as can the archive message files
or the transport (currently filesystem, could as easily be SQL/DB).
