 ** Advantages of the Approach
 
-OOPyness is an advantage.  For example: you can easily recycle
-authentication and authorization by creating mix-in classes on which
-~authorize~ and ~authenticate~ are specialized. Anytime you want to
-add a new endpoint that must be authorized in a particular way, it is
-as easy as adding your mix-in to your new endpoint's superclasses.
+OOPyness is an advantage. Object orientation allows one to:
 
-The same thing applies to establishing and dis-establishing database
-connections - you simply specialize ~handle~'s ~:around~ method, or
-~:before~ and ~:after~ methods, on your endpoint class.
+- Recycle logic by defining protocol methods on mixin superclasses of
+  endponit classes. Whole regions of a site or API can easly be
+  extended or modified.
 
-If you want special processing on your endpoint classes themselves,
-you can sublcass the ~endpoint~ metaclass and specialize
-~intstantiate-instance~ methods.
+- ~ENDPOINT~ itself can be sublcassed for special endpoint definition
+  logic. E.g. ensuring a route prefix without having to type it each
+  time can be acheived by specializing ~instantiate-instance~ on a
+  subclass of ~ENDPOINT~.
 
-For example, if you would prefer every endpoint to be be prefixed by a
-particular route string, you can transform the ~route-parts~ field
-before they are processed by ~endpoint~'s ~instantiate-instance~
-method.
+- You can use the reified endpoints to automatically generate nice
+  documentation. (Less than nice documentation is already provided via
+  the function ~weekend:print-all-route-documentation~.)
 
-** Disadvantages of the Approach
-
-WEEKEND can be be a little verbose. You are free to define your own
-class-defining macros.
-
-This version of weekend is strongly tied to Hunchentoot.
+- Similarly, you can automatically generate API client code for your
+  langauge of choice.
