In the hopes that I will put an idea in someone's head, it should be fairly easy to come up with a "Zope mode" in Emacs that would grab the pages you want to manage using HTTP, providing the correct headers for validation and the like.

Maybe even adapt the Emacs Web browser to do part of the dirty work.

Sure would be better than using text areas.

Don't forget that we have an alpha version of FTP mode for Zope available, with a new alpha version coming out this week. --Paul
