First, thanks for the quick response.

Secondly, I would be willing to start this process, but my 
knowledge of Zope internals is patchy at best, so I might not
be the best person for this. Still, if no-one else wants to,
I will give it a go.

Just to clarify, I am only concerned at present with the code in
HTTPResponse that, in the case of an exception, scans for 
<!doctype html or <html, and wraps them in html if these are
not found. (Seb, does this cover the problems you experienced?)

I think there is a more general problem of making Zope
"content-neutral", but that is a proposal for another time.

Noel Duffy.
