Work is (very slowly) underway on mod_mzscheme, which will be implemented 
such that servlets written for the PLT Web server will just work under 
mod_mzscheme. A good idea is to write for the PLT Web server for now, then 
switch to mod_mzscheme if you absolutely need to, once it is updated and 
released.

The PLT Web server is actively maintained.

> 3) What pitfalls should I be aware of?

The PLT Web server is not yet very secure and, until 207, is quite 
underdocumented.
