Hi Joel
The connection w/Flare is interesting. I'm going to try learn more about this and post some thought soon.
I'm glad you think so :) Mainly I really like the included meta-data in Python scripts on the filesystem, but the commented data-block is rather fragile and ad hoc. Flare seemed like a good starting point for thought on formalization.
As a general point, you certainly can name objects '_.htm'; however, this is so anti-Zope in my mind.
I entirely agree, and wouldn't like to extend the '_.htm'-naming beyond the involvement of the "DreamWeaver team".
naming a zope object w/o an extension is the best idea. It's just difficult to edit.
It also makes one use "folder['name.htm']" instead of "folder.name" in Python, which is almost as bad as "_['sequence-item']"! Jean
