OK. The only location it is in at the moment is a dark gestating
corner of my brain :-)
I am going to write some experimental filter soon. The initial
approach i will take is a list of regexes to static content. It is
much easier to implement and verify that way. Note that deferring to
Jersey first may involve execution of application code for sub-
resource locators and i am not sure that is a good idea to allow that.
I guess one annoying issue with static content is that it may not be
served up using the same constraints as for resource classes. One may
require the same auth/access restrictions to the static content. It
would also be nice if static content can be associated in the same way
as views of a resource class so it could be modular.

P.S. I fully empathize with the 10 week old daughter experience. I am
currently experiencing the 16 month old daughter with high fever.
