[Zope] Testing for and/or avoiding acquisition

[Dylan Reinhardt]

In the case you've described, I would work *with* acquisition, rather
than avoid it or thwart it.

Put a method in your root called 'content.html' and make it do whatever
you wanted done by your 'no-content.html' object.  Then proceed to place
other 'content.html' objects where you want them to apply.

If there is no other content.html available, the one in the root will be
called... and whatever you want done in that case will be done.

HTH,

Dylan
