Guess what! I was right! I was completely wrong about the point of
Deferreds! hooray! :-P

So, it seems that the point of Deferreds-in-WebWidgets wasn't just to
"process immediately before writing", but to _let the rest of the
twisted mainloop run while waiting for a Deferred execution_. Blech.
*dorkus*.

Nonetheless, that big huge refactoring is still useful. A lot of code
(not even including the Deferred-support i got rid of) has been shwacked
and replaced by a much simpler system. Now it's time to rewrite the
Deferred code from scratch on top of my new refactorings.
