-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Re: Empty path elements: Zope2 uses them at the beginning of a path to indicate traversal from the root. -1 to dropping that case (it is the one which makes '/foo/bar' behave orthagonally). Havinng blank elements work as no-ops also makes them behave predictably: this is what command shells (sane ones, anyway) do with them. E.g.: $ ls /path/to//foo yiels the same results as: $ ls /path/to/foo So -0 to dropping the current blank traversal behavior at all. Therefore, +0 to modifying Z3's version to allow the same behavior (I think Zope2's version is more correct). Re: calling primitive types which are at the end of a path expression. They should be called, as should any other callable at the end of a path expression; anything else is a hard-to-explain bit of special case hackery. The ZPT spec has *always* read so. +1 to fixing both / either Z2 or Z3 to make this uniformly so. BBB be damned in this case, as the behavior (not calling the primitiive type) is contrary to spec.
