What's the rationale behind a global dispatch table? It seems like it might be nicer to have a per-server dispatch table. I can't imagine that there would be a good reason not have access to the server object when accessing *dispatch-table*, although as currently structured process-request should probably take an additional argument for the server.

The rationale is that it's a leftover from the times when Hunchentoot was (based on) TBNL and TBNL was a single-server library. Have you seen *META-DISPATCHER*?

Note that you always have access to the server object via the *SERVER* variable.
