Since every storage will have its own unique notification scheme, which 
may be more or less inefficient (worst case scenario, periodic polling 
of entire storage for recently modified items), it might make sense to 
have a "notification server."  It would make it simpler for users to 
create custom storage transaction alert handlers.

For different cache invalidation scenarios, Zope could poll the server 
as well as get poked.
