Is it possible to create *non-persistent* publishable objects with product code?

Yes.

I'm finding Zope unwilling to publish a generic Python object.

The object cannot be completely generic - at the least, it needs an index_html or __str__ method to publish, and it has to satisfy security before it can be traversed to. Parsed XML does this, with a persistent head object, a persistent single XML object, and transient wrapped node objects that are created on the fly, and published with full ZMI access. -- Karl Anderson kra@monkey.org http://monkey.org/~kra/
