I'm going to vote for ZStore because this follows the geenral marketing
terminology for object-databases (Versant, et. al.), even though part of
me wants to call it the Zope Dish :-) You know, where you store your
Zope!

Note the one possible confusion would be if at some point there was a
release of a "shopping cart" mechanism that wanted to call itself
something like that... so for that, ZCart :-)

ZAnswer is always obvious.
