I wonder if figuring out some small IResult pipelining might be an  
interesting compromise.  Of course, you lose the "mind share" and  
"existing software" arguments that Martin gave for Deliverance, but  
you gain greater flexibility because of the access to the transaction  
and ZODB connection, and there are lots of interesting stories you  
can tell with intermediate results that are not strings but nodes  
(i.e., lxml).
