Yes. This is just what I was looking for.

This leads to a followup question/request for the group.

'manage_addProperty' calls various converters from ZPublisher.Converters
to format the properties values. Shouldn't html_quote be used when
formatting strings and text? This would be trivial to change. Would this
cause some problem I don't realize? If not, I'd like to add this to the
Collector for the next version.
