Me too. I think the answer, then, is this:

No changes to Frontier. If you have a situation like Alan, then in your pageFilter, you don't call html.addPageToGlossary automatically.

You only call it if you're not running in the context of the website framework responder.

So Alan's pageFilter should look like this:

if not html.inResponder (adrPageTable)
   html.addPageToGlossary (adrPageTable)

I would recommend making that the default for new websites. This way no existing websites are changed or broken, unless the sysop makes the change to the site's pageFilter. There are no new directives to learn.

But new websites will behave as Alan prefers -- and as I prefer, as I think is the right way.

No breakage.
