It would be good to have a secondary layer for Cowboy one of these days, that helps scaffold complex but typical web server requirements.  I’ve been thinking quite a bit about it.

Just the way you say it makes it sound like you didn't know about cowboy_rest. cowboy_rest implements the same state machine as WebMachine, and the Cowboy router implements a similar routing mechanism to WebMachine, so using Cowboy or WebMachine should be equivalent for REST tasks, simple or not. It's the same callbacks and concepts etc.
