I'm thinking here that subclassing Script is the way to go for any object that needs finer control on how it is called - and I'll say that of any class that doesn't just do index_html = HTMLFile(foo, globals()) So, I wrote a How-To. It's definitely not ready for prime-time, as I haven't

Part of the problem here is that if, in particular, you use the reindex_object method of CatalogAware, the database will grow unnecessarily even if the object hasn't changed. CatalogAware is arguably broken and should really not be used. I'd like to have the time to fix it, but fixing it
