 Yes, I think you are right about collapsible trees getting in the way
 when debugging.  Where trees are useful is when you don't know what
 you are looking for, i.e. newbies trying to understand Zope, so I
 think there's still a case for it.

A short introduction (with link to the help system?!) and a small TOC
with local links into the request at the top of the REQUEST
representation may be more useful than a clickable tree. And easier
to implement, too :)

This sugestion gets my vote. Simple enough that it could be implemented
without major work, transparent enough for people debugging, but making the
REQUEST object more accessible to non-experts.

I like!
