Shrug, this is a risky change. If something goes wrong there, a lot of code 
will be screwed. I agree it is fairly trivial to fix, but I would prefer it 
to be done right. I plan to address the entire HTTPRequest/Publication/... 
issue with the Twisted integration work.

For a specific application it would be as easy to write your custom 
HTTPPublicationRequestFactory.
