I'm not sure I understand the usage of MementoBags. Currently they
come up in situations where one would use properties in Zope2. I think
they should be used, when other objects want to store information in
an object, not when the object itself creates or manages the
information, which would be the case with access time or content size.

Is this the right way to look at this?
