Is it just me or is there a lot of confusion between the terms
namespace, self, client, and the REQUEST object (which, unlike it's name
implies, seems to contain a lot more than stuff relating to the HTTP
request, like the RESPONSE object, for example ;-)

Perhaps this could be shaken down and then, a first for the Zope
community I believe ;-), _documented_ somewhere!!!

cheers,

Chris

PS: what is the client anyway? what exactly is in _? why is the RESPONSE
object an attribute of the REQUEST object?!
