It's separate; this focuses just on web-based items (on the server side). I'm
not sure how much it will actually grow but you can imagine in the extreme
case we could end up with a number of web servers, several standalone web
admin interfaces, a bunch of web frameworks and related recipes for each of
the latter. All of that would bloat out meta-networking a bit too much,
hence this separate layer.

I did send an RFC for this a couple of months ago, although the scope has
been refined a little since then:
