Yes, this is all stuff I know and love about Z3 ;-) When I last saw 
ZCML, it was horrible though. I don't mind XML, just not if it lots of 
pointless typing...

Jim suggests that ZCML has got better, I hope so, in which case I won't 
have to write an alternative that uses the same underlying 
infrastructure :-D

cheers,

Chris
