I see what you're saying. I didn't explain where I'm coming from. I think that the ZMI is really a separate product than the core of Zope 3. This is a controversial position to hold. >From that position, I think that if the ZMI product wants to define its own ZCML to make doing ZMI-related things easy, then it should. I understand from this discussion that registering layers is needed only for certain ZMI things, to be implemented later on. So, I guess the ZCML will be implemented later on, or not implemented later on. In either case, later on. -- Steve Alexander _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list [email protected] Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
