messages from the WWW Library

What do you developers think about changing all of the informative
user messages that currently come out of the WWW library into some
sort of standard user_message call.

Currently there are several modules that use differing forms of user
messages when they are in use. HTNews uses NEWS_PROGRESS or some
such define which is defined to be a "printf". HTAccess uses either
"printf" or user_message. If all of these messages could be expressed
using the same routine my life would be alot simpler. I suggest
using something like "HTinfo_popup" or "HTuserMessage" or something along
those lines. The client could define "HTuserMessage" to be just a
"printf", or a popup window or a statusline message.

I would be willing to go find as many of the messages I can and change
them to this format if neccessary.

don't take me seriously, I never do,
