It's funny; here I am walking around, getting more and more neat ideas on how to how to use XML in Zope, turns out Maik Roeder wrote an External Method that does much of what I was thinking about already, and the Digicool people already were a few steps ahead of me with their ideas and implemented an XML Document. Just this morning I was figuring out that you'd need an 'Ordered Folder' to represent XML documents in Zope neatly, and it turns out they thought of *that* too, already, and are planning to adjust the management interface to support them! Can't I think of something original for a change? :) Anyway, an Ordered Folder can be useful independent from XML -- you guys want to change the management interface, so I presume you want all Folders to become ordered. I think this would be useful anyway for many non XML-ish tasks, like a folder containing news messages (ordered by posting date), or FAQ questions, or something similar, and it doesn't seem as if there'll be many backward compatibility problems, so I suppose that's the best idea.
