Most ObjectEvents are dispatched to "sublocations".
Well, the ones that deal with the object hierarchy. This mostly concerns
IObjectMovedEvents and their sub-event types (added, removed). I don't
think it makes a lot of sense to dispatch other object events.
I was wondering whether it is ok for me to expect a certain dispatch
order, i.e. top-down (container before sublocation) or bottom-up
(sublocation before container)?
No. The dispatch to sublocations is an event handler itself. One should
not depend on the execution order of event handlers, therefore you
should not depend on this dispatch happening before or after your own
event handler(s) for IObjectMovedEvent.
What I find is that this order depends on things like the exact
interface a handler is registered for and, in Zope 2.9 (+3.2), even on
the way I run tests (!).
I can only conclude that there is no guaranteed dispatch order. Now,
should there be? Where can I learn about this contract?
Again, the contract is "don't expect an order".
I've rejected http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/2308 therefore.
