The key, IMHO, will be the order of execution of the callbacks. In<br>
most, if not all, systems I&#39;ve used so far, based around such<br>
architecture this was their Achilles heel. Drupal hooks are one<br>
high-profile examples.<br>
<br>
The problem stems from the weird abstractions - you either don&#39;t know<br>
enough what else is out there, or you know too much. both of which are<br>
bad. Subject-observer while good, has its downsides :(<br>
<br>
The other option is to enforce separation of the results of the<br>
callbacks, so that the output is always deterministic.<br>
<br>
