I understand, though I think it's unfortunate.  I find it quite 
difficult to read or write ZCML, and as a result, I haven't worked on 
Zope 3 for a long time.

Rather than complain about it, I did some experiments with configuration 
syntax in the Ape project, and I'm quite happy with the results.  I 
think Zope 3 could benefit from the things I learned.  But maybe the 
group isn't ready to listen now.

Incidentally, I'm way off topic, so I've changed the subject line. :-)
