... That magical promotion of the key & value to the other dictionary is what tripped me up. This technique, while originally used only for known convenience variables like URLx or BASEx and for promoting lazy data, now applies to all variables after revision 1.75.
Zope promotes the variables from "cookies" and "form" to "other" at least since Zope 2.1.6 (the first version I worked with). I think this is for efficiency reasons. You have a single dictionary lookup instead of three ("other", "form", "cookie"). Dieter
