And how do you use it?
Can I just not plug it in and find that the Properties tab is golden and
shiny?


> Zope's support for PropertySheets is very weak. They cannot be renamed

> empty. The reason for these restrictions: The property values are not
> stored in the sheet but in the associated v_self (value self). The
> persistence mechanism, on with copying, renaming and export is based,
> cannot find them in the current implementation.

> copyPropertySheet uses the specific PropertySheet interface to handle
> property values correctly. You can use it to copy a PropertySheet
> sheet into a container container and optionally give it a different
> id. sheet and container can be either strings or objects. Strings are
> resolved into objects with restrictedTraverse. container defaults to
> the sheets container.
