[Zope] Zope page templates and access controls

All,

I did (finally) figure out that Plone workflow trumps Zope access
control entries, so I am implementing a modified workflow (with
additional states that re-implement the "visible" and "published" states
with ACEs that require authenticated access).  Further reading seems to
indicate that I can call DTML or Python methods from a page template, so
I will report back with the results of my research in a few days.

I plan writing up the whole process as a mini-howto.  Perhaps it could
be included as a tutorial in a future release of Zope or Plone.

Best wishes,
Matthew
