OK, wasn't specifically worrying about security, but why do you see this 
as being an issue?

...and utilities being local utilities that exist in he zodb?

The problem I'm trying to get my head round would be how to make the 
following hypothetical zcml actually work:

<subscriber for="Ix Ix"
             path="/my/zcatalog"/>

...and, from there, how to make it so a ZCatalog could have a tab saying 
"subscribe to the following events"...

am I making any sense as I blunder around trying to explain what I don't 
understand? ;-)
