Because there is File that represent anything static (including text)=20
and is the part of OFS. DTML Document and DTML Method were dynamic data=20
processed with Zope/App as well as Page Templates are processed before=20
dispatching result to client.

So there is static and dynamic content. And all all static stuff was=20
considered to go to Content/OFS. Thus my 0.05=E2=82=AC. Why not have this

Zope/App/
    Content/
        Static/
            Container/ --> I do not see clear distinction between Contain=
er
                           and Folder, Stephan should know this better
            File/
            Image/
        ZPTPage/
        Folder/

I'm not sure I've recreated general picture but probably "Static=20
Content" could be replacement to "OFS".
