I should take a moment to describe the different purposes of these packages as I see them now. Conceptually, they are really quite independent. - zope.app.publisher: A library of ZCML directives for configuring views. Also provides generic view classes. A better name for this package might be "zope.basicviews". A lot of packages depend on this. - zope.app.publication: Provides IPublication implementations and a mechanism/registry for choosing a different publication class for each request. Most packages should not depend on this. A better name might be "zope.publicationregistry". - zope.app.http: Provides generic views that translate HTTP verbs like PUT, DELETE, and OPTIONS into map operations. The idea is clever, but not everyone needs a REST-style API. A better name might be "zope.httpverbs".
