As of Zope 2.8.2 (http://svn.zope.org/?rev=38738&view=rev) the '@' character is allowed in object IDs.
Zope 3 does not allow object IDs starting with '@' because those names are reserved for views.
Five makes Zope 3 style views available in Zope 2, so IDs starting with '@' should be disallowed in Zope 2 as well.
If there are no objections I'll fix that in Zope 2.8, 2.9 and trunk.
To support WebDAV as widely as possible, I would prefer to get rid of all id restrictions. I do not like to see new restrictions emerging...
You just don't like it or do you know a better alternative? We need a way to make sure that object IDs can't mask browser views and resources. The current solution in Zope 3 is to reserve names starting with '+' and '@' for resources and views. Compared to Zope 2.8.1 and earlier this is no new restriction. Cheers, Yuppie
