1) Why does SimpleItem still have this?! Since so much, IIRC, is derived
from SimpleItem.Item, surely this goes very much against the grain of
'everything should be protected unless I say otherwise'?

2) Why does having __allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__=1 mean
that the 'start with _ = hidden/no DTML, no web Access' ruel applies?
