You just don't like it or do you know a better alternative?
We need a way to make sure that object IDs can't mask browser views and
resources. The current solution in Zope 3 is to reserve names starting
with '+' and '@' for resources and views.
Compared to Zope 2.8.1 and earlier this is no new restriction.
But that doesn't mean that the restriction was good in the first place.
Naturally there will be some insane developers out there doing webdav,
with @ having a special meaning, that will bite us in the ... future.
Leading '_' gave problems. '@' in ids has caused problems. So there is
no reason to expect that a leading '@' won't at some time.
Only trouble is that it will be a problem in Zope 3 too.
Now that Twisted is put in front of Plone, we can also expect it to be a
problem when Zope is used as a server for other services.
Eg. mirroring an imap folder structure from exchange. Which I am
allready having some fun with in mxmImapClient. :-s
