I think it's a good thing for organizing the image elements of webpages, such that the site can start off with stock templates, and subsections can be progressively modified without re-coding the DTML (e.g. by graphic non-programmer types), by (e.g.) putting same-named .gif's in subdirectories.... sort of like, inheritance for .gif's. But... probably would be better to have a special foldertype to make that clear.

it be a good, bad, or ugly thing for Zope to *continue* the search for "images" objects containing a 'site-logo.jpg'?
It would probably be not so good. It's my belief that we're trying to move to more explicitness, and this magic is hard to document. That's not to say that you can't make a container like this and hook __getattr__ and keep going!
