The "experimenting" I was talking about was the idea of agent sniffing,
which won't work for Amaya, Composer, etc., anyway.  There isn't any
such sniffing going on (that I know of, anyway) in Zope 2.6;  you have
to run a special HTTP server on a different port if you want to edit
template / script source over WebDAV with Zope 2.6.
