Right, but then you would send it each time you modify the object,
which in the ZODB case more or less becomes everytime you make a
settattr, which results in a huge amount of IObjectModifiedEvents per
modification.

If you have a method to change all fields in a schema, that method
could reasonably send the event, but on a lower level it's not very
practical.
