Tom,
You have emailed the right list.  Thank you for your contribution, which I'm
sure you find useful.

I am biased against adding any more Valves to Tomcat at the moment, because I
would actually like to do away with the Valve mechanism altogether in favor of
the standards-compliant and portable javax.servlet.Filter approach.  I know
Valves are faster in general, but still, it seems like an over-engineered bit
of Tomcat that I'd like to see go away in the long run.

Accordingly, I don't want to put this into Tomcat proper at this time. 
Instead, I'd love to see it in Filter form instead of Valve form: that would be
awesome.

Thanks,

Yoav
