FWIW, just to close this out, I poked and prodded zope.server into a
fork named waitress (which only does WSGI).

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/waitress

The detailed differences between waitress and zope.server are here:

I had originally thought I'd backport some of the changes to
zope.server, but TBH the changes are pretty fundamental, and would
require a ton of work to backport.  Instead, if you like the features it
provides (and can live with the ones it removes), I'd suggest using
waitress instead of zope.server at this point.
