1) bug free-er as you say, with some enhancements (for example,
   support for pl/sql table variables so one can handle multiple
   values)
2) pre-packaged bundle of httpd server, web agent and Oracle db server..
   for people who have difficulty putting it together themselves
3) better pl/sql support packages (e.g. the table_print procedure
   in owa_util (see the 3 Nov entry at http://gserver.grads.vt.edu/)
   ..very nice pl/sql coding, imo.

The next release of the web agent is supposed be multithreaded and
have dedicated connection.
