html forms vs revlets

Yes, you're right, for the most part. I'd rewritten the poll stack as an 
iRev page for possible use in the conference teaching session and got 
myself confused between mine and the original.

The sample stack as it appears on RR's site doesn't directly read a text 
file itself. It loads a URL that consists of a plain iRev script. That 
script reads and writes to the text file, and returns the vote totals to 
the revlet. It isn't actually a POST event, so I misspoke.

I can't try it right now, but I don't see why a revlet couldn't post to 
its own containing irev page, and have that page process and display 
data. I'm still travelling right now and my internet access is limited, 
but when I get home I may try it.
