Sure, but while I fully acknowledge problems with the Zope 2 approach, in my view we've gone a bit overboard at times with the Zope 3 spirit. :) There is value in thinking about compact expression. The great benefit with Zope 3 is that we frequently actually *know* the aspects of what we want to express compactly, as we tend to be expressing these aspects separately. I hope we can foster a spirit where after we have factored out the independent aspects we can look at them again and make their expression more compact, at least for whatever we determine is a common case.
