Thanks, I've incorporated that example into component.xml.

Ape chooses a serialization strategy for each object according to the
configuration files named apeconf.xml.  For example, if you add a standard
ZopePageTemplate to a folder in an Ape-managed database, Ape decomposes it
for storage using components configured in apeconf.xml.  Read outline.txt
and apexml.txt to learn how to teach Ape about more object types.
