As Jim said, 'Don't be afraid!' :-) The things you are afraid about will never 
cross your way.

Yes, since you are a developer this is true. But a scripter thinks differently 
about that. The more functionality he has available in one place, the happier 
the scripter is.

SQLExpr is an add-on. You have to install a Zope 3 product to use them.

<script> could not be an add-on, because it adds functionality to the TAL 
Generator and Interpreter as well as the HTMLTALParser. However, as Jim and 
the news item clearly said, this support is only activated for Content-space 
"Templated Pages" (ZPT Pages) in content space. If you design your site 
correctly you probably will never use Templated Pages much. Furthermore, you 
have to go to a separate screen (tab) to activate this feature. Try it!

Stephan
