I agree with Ken: I think it's a good choice because it *is* 
Zope-specific -- I think Zope should be in the name.  If you 
are using Zope, it will be meaningful; if not, it won't -- and 
shouldn't be.  

I also think "Zopelet" does not "mean absolutely nothing" 
in terms of connotation -- it carries the connotations that 
Ken mentioned, which is good.  

My $0.02.
