It's certainly an area that can be debated. If you use explicit 
directives throughout your codebase you can place everything in a single 
file or partition is any way you like. It's just if you like 
module-level directives or the defaults that this pattern is encouraged 
by the system.

That's good to hear!

I agree definitely with this. Unfortunately since I'm fairly familiar 
with Zope 3 I am probably not the right person to produce these 
pointers. If you can give some links (and descriptions on them) then we 
can see about integrating them into the site (or the reference, 
tutorial, developer's notes, etc).

It should definitely be of use!

Thanks for sticking with it and your feedback, we appreciate it.
