[Zope-dev] Python (File) Product Permission Handeling
Hello everyone, I am writing my own Python Product and it is going well so far, except that some of the default permissions will not transfer. I have an ObjectManager object that contains another ObjectManager-based object. The first inherits the permissions of Zope just fine, but in the second one I am only allowed to view manage_main, but all other self-defined manage screens I am unable to see. For example: I created a manage_blah method, but when I try to view its label (manage_tabs) I get an unauthorized error from the manage_workspace method. The user I am using is Owner and Manager (Zope Version 2.2.0b2).

[Zope-dev] _delObject Method
Hello! Can anybody tell me, what the 'dp=1' attribute in the _delObject methods of the ObjectManager (OFS/ObjectManager.py) and ZClassMethodsSheet (ZClasses/Method.py) Class are for? I haven't found any method call, where dp is set and the methods themselves don't use it aswell. I would like to use it as a switch for (not) calling the manage_beforeDelete method, when the _delObject method is called by CopySupport.manage_renameObject and CopySupport.manage_pasteObject. In these cases, manage_beforeDelete would not be called. To me that seems to be correct, because during a cut-paste and a rename operation the Objects are not really deleted, they are just temporarily taken out of the object-tree and then inserted again. Are there any problems with that? Or is 'dp' used for another purpose in an older or a newer version of Zope (I use Zope 2.1.6)? -OFS/ObjectManager.py-line 277- def _delObject(self, id, dp=1): object=self._getOb(id) if dp: object.manage_beforeDelete(object, self) self._objects=tuple(filter(lambda i,n=id: i['id']!=n, self._objects)) self._delOb(id) --- -OFS/CopySupport.py-line 225 and 259--- ob.aq_parent._delObject(id, 0) --- Thanx, Gregor! ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

[Zope-dev] Overriding a method in an instance.
Hi, I guess this should be a feature request for the collector but I thought I'd see what other people thought first... I'd really like to be able to override methods in an instance of an object. Examples I can think of are Squishdot and the Tracker. In Squishdot, or any ZCatalog for that matter, it'd be great to override searchResults to return what I want, formatted how I want. In Tracker, the same could be said for index_html. These may be bad examples, but hopefully you see what I mean... Anyway, if you do try to override, you get a 'This id is already in use' error. How do you get around it and how should this problem be solved? cheers, Chris ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

PS: For acquisiton, is it context before containment or containment before cotext? Interesting situation, that... it's always containment before context, but standard practice in DTML figures out what initial container to use from the context. I just figured that last week. To determine context, you get obj.aq_parent. To determine the container, you get obj.aq_inner.aq_parent. The strange thing about DTML methods is that namespace attributes are essentially derived from method.aq_parent. method.aq_parent could be anywhere and is determined by the second-to-last element in the URL. But from there, acquisition continues normally, searching via containment first and then context. So it's mostly right-to-left, but sometimes left-to-right, and sometimes in a less than predictable order. I have an external method that makes it clearer, if you're interested.

Re: [Zope-dev] More comments on ZPatterns
At 04:40 PM 7/9/00 -0500, Steve Spicklemire wrote:
Wow.. alright. I think I need "ZPatterns for Dummies" or maybe there
needs to be a disclaimer "ZPatterns are NOT for Dummies." ;-)
I've pretty much given up on Sheets for now. Nothing I've tried
has actually worked. I thought maybe I needed to switch to 2.2,
but then all the code that *was working* stopped working...
It's possible that something *is* broken. Ty and I are not yet using
ZPatterns-based propertysheets for production work, and anything we don't
use yet for production work isn't as thoroughly tested.
(e.g., I would get permission errors when I tried things
like "ni=newItem('foo')"... "ni.propertysheets.get('Basic')"
'get' is disallowed... in 2.2 somehow.. "Basic" is a propertysheet
defined in the ZClass for my instances.)
This appears to be a Zope bug; OFS.PropertySheets.PropertySheets does not
define roles/permissions for the "get" method. This should probably be put
in the Collector.
Maybe someone could just say, in a plain, step-by-stepish sort of way,
how to add/delete/etc sheet providers for a pure ZClass based object
at any time at all. (I would be happy to start over, if I felt I knew
what I was doing!)
I'm not sure what you're asking for here; I thought you previously quoted
from an explanation of how to do that.
Anyway... I went back to 2.1.6 and finally got triggers working. I
thought I would share a minor success and ask the ZPatterns gurus if
this is 'right' so that I might not go too far down the 'wrong' road!
I defined a Generic Trigger in my defaultRack's Data Plugins
that managed the same attributes that I have defined in
my "Generic Attribute Provider" in the same Rack, for the
same instances. The only persistan attribute is the id of
the object, which turns out to be the primary key of a single table
in MySQL that I use for my SQL based attributes. My Generic Trigger
has
You don't need "id" to be persistent, if all it's for is to map to the SQL
database. Just make sure your GAP returns NOT_FOUND (if the record doesn't
exist) for some attribute you can then use as your "load attribute" on the
Storage Settings tab of the Rack. (If you were keeping "id" persistent so
that you could use the getPersistentItemIds() method, note that you can use
an SQL method for that purpose instead.)
(I had to make the last attribute unconditionally set
since otherwise the extra comma created an SQL syntax
error if it was excluded... could sqlgroup fix this?)
No, but you could use the CHANGED_ATTRS() function instead and use an "in"
loop. CHANGED_ATTRS() returns the list of attribute names which were set
or deleted during the transaction. You could then use:
dtml-unless sequence-end,/dtml-unless
to add the comma between SET clauses. You would still, of course have to
do conditional code for the types of your variables.
My only problem was that I couldn't trigger the trigger!
In the past I've always called manage_changeProperties to
adjust an ZClass's properties. But since only the ID is
stored persistently... that doesn't make any sense. Instead
I ended up creating an external method:
manage_changeProperties is an ideal way to change the attributes, actually.
The only problem is that a "common instance property sheet" won't work, as
Ty and I found out last week when we tried to build a production app using
GAP's and GenericTriggers.
The problem is that when a default attribute is set on the ZClass,
__getattr__ doesn't get called on the instances for that attribute, so you
can never get the value from your database. You can change the properties
all you want, and your database will be updated, but you'll still never see
the data in Zope.
So I've added a new kind of property sheet, a "DataSkin Property Sheet",
which sets default attributes as "class_default_for_X" names in the ZClass.
DataSkins already support defaulting to class_default_for_X if an
attribute provider doesn't come up with something, so it works out quite
well. Trick is, I haven't released this new feature yet; I only added it
Thursday evening and there are some other unfinished bits as yet.
The approach you took, with external methods, is the approach Ty took as a
workaround until I got DataSkin Property Sheets together, and is a
reasonable way to deal with it for now.
That called the external method to actually trigger the "Generic Trigger".
It did work... I can't help but wonder if I missed some obvious
and much simpler way to accomplish this!
You didn't miss it; this is a defect in ZPatterns which I discovered when
Ty began building a production app similar to yours in what it uses in
ZPatterns. As with many things in ZPatterns, it's not so much that it's
inherently complicated as it is unfinished, undocumented, and untested.

Since we now have an execution stack, we can limit that stack, causing an exception to be thrown rather than letting it overflow the C stack. It would actually be more reliable than the current mechanism, which depends on DTML namespaces. That would probably be a good idea, independent of LoginManager et al. Well, guess what... Jim's ahead of both of us. Not only is the stack size limited, but the limit is easily configured through an environment variable. I never give this guy enough credit. :-) See lib/python/AccessControl/SecurityManager.py, especially addContext(). If the LoginManager is created by the superuser and is used as the root authenticator, it stays unowned, so the ownership problem should not occur. If that is not the current behavior then it needs to be corrected. That is not the current behavior, unless _owned=UnownableOwner is placed in the class. It looks like Brian decided, for the latest beta, to make ownership forgiving in the presence of an _owner class attribute. This should solve the problem for Generic User Source. Generic User Folder is going to need the _owner attribute. If untrusted users are allowed to add LoginManagers, the methods called to get ownership information should be owned by them. This is to avoid the server-side trojan horse. Understood. I'll try to keep that use case in mind. Keep in mind, however, that being able to create a LoginManager is a pretty risky business in a portalish environment - you could potentially get access to somebody's password, since after all you will control an actual login screen! (Note however, that someone can create a phony login screen in DTML and bypass the entire Zope security model with a little "social engineering" anyway.) I've thought of that as well. Perhaps we'll have to accept that the new model just doesn't lend itself to the area of configurable user databases. Also note that it is not necessary to give a user access to the full power of LoginManager. One could give them rights only to add a small subset of the available UserSources and LoginMethods. It would probably be a bad idea to give them the ability to add a GenericUserSource, which is where most of the potential for mayhem lies. Better to give them some sort of PersistentUserSource, with no ability to do much. Now, the problem still remains that ownership information cannot be retrieved if the method that gets ownership is in ZODB, is owned by a user defined in that user folder, and has to call another method. Note that this also applies to Generic User Folder. Yep. The problem is that the superuser *can't* create those methods in the root folder, so there's no place to bottom out the recursion at present. With the correction in the execution stack, instead of killing Zope, an attempt to authenticate that way will result in a controlled stack overflow. Unless you can come up with another option, we can either break the security model or slightly reduce the capabilities of LoginManager. What would you do if you were in my position? Well, I'm hoping you'll take a look at my Collector suggestion for a new Zope feature. :) Specifically, extending the "access" file to allow other "top-level" users to exist besides the superuser, who have roles defined in the file. There are many ways this would be useful, not the least of which is to break the "you need to do that at the next level up" problem. (Others include a simplified process for getting your Zope site set up, since you then don't have to login as superuser and add a user folder, then log back in as somebody else.) If this were done, we could easily go to letting LoginManager objects be owned, since there'd always be a place "above" the LoginManager for the owner user to reside.

http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/ConfigurableInstances/
Looks pretty good. A suggestion, however. There isn't any need to do it
as a patch to ObjectManager.py; you can implement this in a Product just
fine. Just organize it like this:
class ConfigurablesSheet:
...
class Configurable(OFS.ObjectManager.ObjectManager):
def _checkId(self, id, allow_dup=0):
...
class ConfigurablesSheets:
configurables = ConfigurablesSheet('configurables')
class _ZClass_for_Configurable:
propertysheets = ConfigurablesSheets()
_zclass_ = Configurable
manage_options=({'label': 'Configurable objects', 'action' :
'propertysheets/configurables/manage'},)
Then all you have to do is
context.registerZClass(_ZClass_for_Configurable), and anyone mixing in
Configurable to their bases will now have the configurable stuff on your
screen. (Btw, please don't take offense if you already knew how to do all
this; doing mixins to alter the ZClass machinery itself is pretty deep Zen
to most people, including me until just last week. I knew the theory
before that, but only actually did some mixins like this late last week,
working on some experimental stuff for PlugIns.)
I think this may relate to an existing interest of yours regarding
specification of interfaces and overriding them in instances; I'd be
interested in hearing your comments regardless.
The thing that's really missing is the interface that DatabaseConnector
provides. It shows you all the methods you need to implement, and when
you're done, the interface is ready to try out. This leads to a sense
of completion, which in turn makes the user pleased to be using
Zope/ZClasses/ZPatterns/etc. This can only be good.
Yep, it would be nice to have such a thing. It's rather like PlugIns,
except it's designed for single methods, rather than lists of collaborator
objects. The other comment I have, now that I've seen your approach, is
that it might be more flexible from a subclassing perspective, to use a
__replaceable__ attribute. Here's how it could work:
1) Configurable._checkId() checks to see if the existing attribute to be
replaced has a __replaceable__ = true attribute, or if it lacks a
__replaceable__ attribute, it checks the objectmanager itself for a
subobjectname__replaceable__ attribute.
2) The Configurables ZClass mixin UI would set/reset
subobject.__replaceable__ on the list of names given (and in the case of
attribute errors would set/reset class.subobjectname__replaceable__
The advantage to this approach is that if you create mixin classes that are
designed to be added to Configurables, you don't have to go and re-check
your configurability list; the replacability lives with the methods, not
the class.

[Zope-dev] Re: Expanded access file (was Re: LoginManager patchconsideredharmful)consideredharmful)
Jim, Phillip has an idea that could make life simpler for Zope newbies. This would be intended for the next major Zope release. "Phillip J. Eby" wrote: Well, I'm hoping you'll take a look at my Collector suggestion for a new Zope feature. :) Specifically, extending the "access" file to allow other "top-level" users to exist besides the superuser, who have roles defined in the file. There are many ways this would be useful, not the least of which is to break the "you need to do that at the next level up" problem. (Others include a simplified process for getting your Zope site set up, since you then don't have to login as superuser and add a user folder, then log back in as somebody else.) If this were done, we could easily go to letting LoginManager objects be owned, since there'd always be a place "above" the LoginManager for the owner user to reside.

RC Compaan writes:
I have a list:
mylist=[('R',31),('I',80),('A',80),('S',23),('E',35),('C',21)]
I want to rebuild the list sorted from high to low on the sequence-item.
When i call dtml-in mylist sort=sequence-item reverse the list gets
sorted on the sequence-key not the sequence-item. As I understand the
alphabetical characters are the sequence-keys and the float values are the
sequence-items.
Where do misunderstand?
What you see is caused by the following code in
"DocumentTemplate.DT_In.InClass.__init__":
if has_key('sort'):
self.sort=sort=args['sort']
if sort=='sequence-item': self.sort=''
This means, "dtml-in sort=sequence-item" does not sort
by "sequence-item" but by the complete tuple (key,item).
I think, the special treatment of lists of pairs is
altogether a slight misfeature. It would probably
have been better to use a special "dict" attribute
in analogy to the "mapping" attribute to call
for the special pair interpretation.
'sequence-item' should then still be the complete item
and 'sequence-value' the second pair component.
Probably, it is too late by now to change this.

[Zope] External Method not accepting CGI module
Dear All, I have this python module for uploading an image from a client to the server (which would be subsequently inserted into a MySQL database, which is still on the midst of being resolved). I''m trying to import this into Zope as an External MEthod. It's contents are as follows : import cgi form = cgi.FieldStorage() fileitem = form["userTABPIX1"] fname = tempfile.mktemp() fp=open(fname,'w') fp.write(fileitem.file.read()) fp.close() However, Zope generates this error : Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type : KeyError Error Value: userTABPIX1 Apparently, this piece of code is supposed to work. I grabbed it off the mailing list, and I've compared with the python references and tutorials. Is it because it's not meant to be used as an External MEthod? If so, can anybody suggest a way for me to upload files from the client to the server which will subsequently be inserted into a mySQL db? I posted another message in the archive earlier on which describes my previous attempts in inserting an image into the mySQL database from a form. Thanx, k.c.

[Zope] Wizards?
I am trying to create wizards but as usual I am running into problems.. To forward input to the next step I learned in the howto "Wizards made easy" that this was the way to do it: dtml-in "REQUEST.form.items()" input type="hidden" name="dtml-var sequence-key" value="dtml-var sequence-item" /dtml-in When I type that code in however I get the following error message: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: illegal argument type for built-in operation Is the howto wrong or did I do something wrong? Wizards are prebuilt but where do I change how wizards should react. For example where do I change the caption on the "next"-button or the "title"-output?

[Zope] a product with external methods
Hi,
1st question:
I'm currently creating a ZClass based product which includes some external
methods.
If I want to distribute this product, do I have to distribute my product
AND my external methods for it to work correctly elsewhere, or just
distributing the product is sufficient ?
2nd question about ZCatalog and Zope 2.1.6:
When I instanciate a folderish ZClass of my own, I want to automatically
create a ZCatalog instance, then I add the following line to MyZClass_add
method:
dtml-call "manage_addZCatalog('Catalog', 'My Catalog')"
and when I create an instance of my class I've got the following

If I don't call manage_addZCAtalog in my add method but instead add the

I think I've called this method correctly according to the ZQR, so I can't
understand why it doesn't work.
I've searched on this list archives on egroups about "adding ZCatalog" or
"add ZCatalog" and I've not found anything useful.
then I've searched for manage_addZCatalog and I've applied the patch sent
by Dieter Maurer on May 28th to ZCatalog.py and restarted Zope but with no
luck.
please could someone help me ?

Re: [Zope] MySQLDA Won't build
Hi, I'm not sure if you are having the same problem, but when we built MySQLDA, I found that there are some lines in one of the configure files that need to be fixed. Did you save the compile log? (Sorry, but I cannot recall the exact file that has the problems), but there are three places where there is an in the middle of a line that is trying to act in the C like addressing, but there is no address there. A second problem we had, is that after fixing these lines this did not build on redhat but did fine under informix (???). we had to move the .so file by hand, and it works ok. I have been having trouble getting any of the various MySQL modules (either for zope or for python) to build on RedHat -- I'm growing increasingly impatient with redhat it seems to be getting more microsoftish with each new release. ciao! greg.

Re: [Zope] GUF Problem
At 17:15 10/07/00 +0200, you wrote: Is it possible (and how) to use the standard ACL with a user-database behind it ??? Thanks Mario Well kind of, in the sense that you can check the user login using ACL in the normal way and then you can match AUTHENTICATED_USER against your user database so your database knows who it is. It means maintaining your users in two places (in the ACL folder and in the database), but it's a workaround until the GUF problems are ironed out or login manager is up and running (with docs on how to use it). I need this because I've got users inputting data via Zope and I need to have a user ID I can stamp their data with - so all I do is - select user_id from users where dtml-sqltest AUTHENTICATED_USER column=username type=string in an SQL-method where AUTHENTICATED_USER is defined as an argument. Seems to work OK ! that's what I'm doing until I (or someone else) finds out hot to get GUF working again.

The Zope way would be to consider this beforehand by splitting the URLs into a part that may change over time and a part that is more constant. The changing part of your URL should then be a variable somewhere on top of the hierarchy, and the complete URL can then be combined with the constant part further down the hierarchy. Perhaps you can motivate your students by telling them that they only have to do this one more time ;-) Best regards, Maik Röder ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I'm attempting to mirror our Zope site to IIS 5.0 on a W2K Server, and am
having problems with Netscape Navigator. Because the files have no file
extension, Netscape keeps trying to download and save the files to disk,
rather than displaying the content as HTML. I've tried several ways of
specifying that the MIME content type header coming from the server is
"text/html", but nothing alters the behavior of Netscape. Is there anyone
else out there who may have had experience with this and would be willing to
help? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,

do no good. Damn need more tea to wake me up.

I did a similar thing and when I mirrored it to IIS as static files I
changed the filename by adding .html
You can fix the header to always add the correct content type
(RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html'))

Re: [Zope] Mirroring to IIS
LOL Good catch, I was just about to e-mail more questions ;-)
I've been banging my head on it for most of the day, and I think what it comes down to
is - why does netscape have no problem displaying pages from ZServer that have no file
extension, and yet try to save all files from IIS that don't have a file extension?
I think it is because ZServer correctly sends the appropriate MIME type along with
each file. IIS doesn't. Apparently IIS sends files without extensions as an
"application/octet-stream" content-type. I've tried changing this in IIS by changing
the ".*" MIME mapping, but to no avail. I'm afraid I'm getting far afield from the
topic of Zope and need to address this to some IIS list or other :-P

Hi folks, I wholeheartedly agree that one should learn handcoded html, if only in order to be able to clean up what the html editors do that you want to customize. I have found that it is possible to write very complex files with code warrior or dreamweaver. From the zope interface, you can import a dtml document, and pull up the edited file into zope.

Actually I also like it more to code stuff in Python. It's so much easier
than to figure out how to do it in DTML.
Basically what I like in Zope is the environment you also have in Python
Products, like Acquisition. This is quite handy. That's why I try to do
most stuff in Python Products then in DTML. But actually this is not
one of the main things which were thought about a lot as it's still not
that easy to use Products as ZClasses (and be it only the managing of
Products.. You might want to have different locations for different
products etc. )
And another thing I don't like about DTML is the mixture between code
and layout. IMHO this is a bad thing. This is also the reason why I switched
from PHP to Python some time ago..
What I would think as more useful is to provide some custom tags by the
website developer which the website designer can then use. These should
be abstract and clear in meaning. The actual implementating of these
tags could then be done separately in maybe Python..
(we had this before.. maybe the XML stuff can help here).
The advantage would also be that you can provide quite powerful tags like
an easy handling of database forms, etc. (I did this some time ago
with pure python.. developing with it is quite fast. One day and you
have your basic database frontend with some basic CMS stuff.)
But nevertheless for basic tasks a good template language is neccessary.
And I agree with Chris that things like the above mentioned make it not
that usable/readable.
There are niggles (like the rediculous id problem) which you can live
with, but doing anything other than the really mundane in DTML means
extreme hair loss right now, which is not good.
I wonder how many other people would agree with me: nevermind ZEO, or

Please think hard to come up with an escaping syntax that I don't hate. ;) How about extending ! beyond just escaping WikiNames? ! escapes structured text if it directly precedes a formatting character. !! actually puts a ! if it does indeed need to proceed a formatting character. cheers, Chris PS: Off to the wiki now ;-) ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I'm not too hot on XML compliancy, but if it makes the problems I
mentioned go away, then great :-)
3. Good documentation (much easier to do if 1 and 2 are met...)
How about a "namespace inspector"? It could provide an easy way to
find out what methods are available and the what the calling
conventions are (since it would interface with the help system), and it
could be automatically invoked when exceptions occur (under certain
conditions), making it a Zope debugging tool.
Sounds interesting but it's never going to beat a decent paper reference
with examples...
I'm working on enhancing Python Methods right now. I'm close to
getting them properly interfaced with DTML namespaces, so that DTML can
invoke Python Methods using simpler DTML syntax.
Hmmm, how about just sorting out the problems: dtml-var and dtml-call
dtml-var "x(_,_.None,arg1=x,arg2='y',arg3=3)" html_quote
should really be:
dtml-var x arg1=x arg2='y' arg3=3 html_quote

A curious paradox: newbies need it to be easier, but experienced users
need consistency.
I don't see a paradox, these two are both solved by sorting out the same
problems.
It doesn't confuse Jim! ;-)
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('id','answer1')"
dtml-if "_[_[id]]=='funny'"
So lobotomize Jim, then he'll know what it's like for the rest of us! :P

RE: [Zope] Adding comments to documents like in ACS ...
This is something I've wanted to see for a long time too. The Portal Toolkit (http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK) evidently has a "discussable" mixin class that allows users to add comments to documents. You may want to check it out. This feature should probably be abstracted out of the portal toolkit and made more generally available. I'd really like to see a "commentable document" product based on an atomic mixin class that we could reuse on Zope.org for how-tos, news items, etc. I really like ACS' "bboard" system, that's the kind of functionality I think these objects should provide.

I know, HTML is supposed to ignore whitespace, but there could be various reasons you would want to keep trailing spaces.

Re: [Zope] Sorting a list
RC Compaan writes:
I have a list:

I want to rebuild the list sorted from high to low on the sequence-item.
When i call dtml-in mylist sort=sequence-item reverse the list gets
sorted on the sequence-key not the sequence-item. As I understand the
alphabetical characters are the sequence-keys and the float values are the
sequence-items.
Where do misunderstand?
What you see is caused by the following code in
"DocumentTemplate.DT_In.InClass.__init__":
if has_key('sort'):
self.sort=sort=args['sort']
if sort=='sequence-item': self.sort=''
This means, "dtml-in sort=sequence-item" does not sort
by "sequence-item" but by the complete tuple (key,item).
I think, the special treatment of lists of pairs is
altogether a slight misfeature. It would probably
have been better to use a special "dict" attribute
in analogy to the "mapping" attribute to call
for the special pair interpretation.
'sequence-item' should then still be the complete item
and 'sequence-value' the second pair component.
Probably, it is too late by now to change this.
