[Zope] Document parameters as part of a URL

[Peter Bengtsson]

I much prefer to use __before_publishing_traverse__.
Eg.

class MyProduct(Something):
      def __before_publishing_traverse__(self, object, REQUEST):
            """ sort things out before publising object """
            stack = REQUEST['TraversalRequestNameStack']
            if len(stack)==2 and stack[0]=='members' and stack[1].isdigit():
                REQUEST.set('member_id', stack[1])
                stack.remove(stack[1])

That's my opinion.
