Almost all zope-manageable classes (and certainly Folders, that Dieter mentioned) use the old rule. This happens because they derive from SimpleItem.Item, which has __allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__=1
1) Why does SimpleItem still have this?! Since so much, IIRC, is derived from SimpleItem.Item, surely this goes very much against the grain of 'everything should be protected unless I say otherwise'?
If you read the docs about the 2.2 security changes, you'll find the explication. Summary: this is a transitional step.
2) Why does having __allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__=1 mean that the 'start with _ = hidden/no DTML, no web Access' ruel applies?
I don't think that's what he meant. I think he meant that keeping that _ behavior was necessary because most objects still use the older 'wide open' security model. But I could be wrong. --RDM
